Day 061 – December 22, 1819

December 22, 1819 – At a meeting of the brethren resolved unanimously that they deem it expedient to observe the anniversary of the Savior’s birth in a religious manner. (Thaddeus Journal)

Dec. 22nd. The three last have been peculiarly pleasant days—our progress both smooth and rapid; and tho near a vertical sun, experienced but little inconvenience from the heat. The mild beams of the moon glittering on the wide waters, give a charm to the evening, and what is better than all, while it is peace without, through the mercy of GOD, I can also add, it is peace within. But, 0, I long for more devout and holy aspirations to Him who did say, “My peace I leave with you.” The renewed health of my dear husband calls for a heart of praise. To-day has afforded some pleasant hours, in our little room, where we are now made comfortable, in being employed by his side, while he has been planning a sermon for Christmas. He has just read to me the plan. May the Divine Spirit lead, in the filling it out, to such thoughts as he will bless and set home upon the heart. Have this evening been engaged in conversation with Mr. C—, feel a peculiar interest in the state of that young man–am encouraged to strengthen those feelings from the hope that GOD, by his Spirit, is inclining our hearts, in a few instances, to make his case a subject of prayer. While conversing about him, to-day,
Mr. B— suggested the thought that it was not too much to ask of GOD so to cause divine truth to shine in his path,—so to incline his heart, that he should be led to relinquish the pursuit of wealth, join himself with us in the glorious work anticipated by us, of erecting the standard of the cross in those dark regions whither we go. It has been much in mind, to-day, that, it _is not a vain thing to call upon GOD. O, for that faith to which a promise is annexed. (Sybil Bingham)

21. – This has been a good day to my soul. Joy & gladness begin to break in upon me as light out of darkness. Spent much of my time in reading & writing. By the blessings of God I hope that this desultory course which I have so long followed has at length come to an end. I shall endeavour to fix upon some planned by which I may turn to some good account every moment of my life. (Samuel Whitney Journal)

December 22, 1819. Resolved That It is expedient to observe the anniversary of the birth of our Saviour. That Brothers Bingham, and Thurston be a committee to make arrangements for the celebration, and that they report in what manner the day shall be observed. (Minutes of the Prudential Meetings of the Mission Family)
