Letter to the Disciples.
By Editor
FROM Brother Cottrell we recently received the following card:— "DEAR BROTHER: Since you spoke of my Letter to the Disciples at our Conference, and finding a few copies on hand, I send one to you, not for republication, but as a remembrancer. It has no date, but was written in 1849. It was my first effort of the kind; written and published before I knew that there was a Seventh-day Adventist. The 'extract' concerning the monument and its inscription was written by Eld. T. B. Brown, Seventh-day Baptist. This will bear repeating." This tract was handed to us by Eld. O. P. Hull in the spring of 1852, soon after we commenced the observance of the Lord's day—the true Sabbath. We were much interested in it. Many of our readers are now well acquainted with the writings of Brother Cottrell; but few of them, it is likely, have ever seen this. We think we do them a favor in publishing it entire. It will appear in two numbers of the SIGNS, the present and the one following. Brother Cottrell is well in years; one of the oldest among Seventh-day Adventists. But his love of and zeal for the truth have not abated. And we take the same interest in his writings that we did thirty-one years ago. We hope and trust our readers will be often favored by him, as they have been in the past.
