A Son of Wm. Miller.

By Editor

THE following, from Bro. James Sawyer, of the Chicago Mission, will be of interest to many of our readers:—

A WELCOME VISITOR.

A few days since we had the pleasure of having a visit from Langdon Miller, the son of Wm. Miller, of the 1844 movement. He remained at our rooms five hours and came expressly to see the friends of the cause. His conversation was mostly on the present truth. He is now seventy-two years of age. He thinks the work which his father did was in the order of Providence and was blessed of God.

He is much interested in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. He pointed to one article which particularly interested him. His words in regard to the First Angel's Message were inspiring to us. He said that his father's course of seventeen lectures at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1840-44, so interested the people that a book-seller said he sold more Bibles in a few days than he had before in five years.

What unselfishness and trust in God were manifested in his life! He was once returning home to his family, and had preached a sermon in a village north of Troy, New York. The merchants and business men of the village became much interested and took up a collection for him, amounting to $200. Mr. Miller accepted only enough of the money to pay his stage fare from that place to his home.

Mr. Langdon Miller says he would very much like to meet the friends who invited him to Battle Creek last fall, and on his way to visit his friends in Vermont this summer, he will try to visit that city.
