A meeting has been held for more than seven years, daily, for reading the Scriptures, at the noon hour, in 229 Temple Court, New York City. The following are notes from one month's teachings, there. Those who heard were desirous of having them in a permanent form, and so had them taken down stenographically and printed. The colloquial and conversational style in which they were given has been preserved by special desire, which was emphasized by the request that they be not altered, at all, but published as spoken. Some portions were cut out as being more repetitions. The readings are now given to a wider atten tion, with the prayer that He whose word it is may afford comfort and refreshing through these pages to His saints. It is hoped that the noon meetings may be kept up till the Lord come.
