"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."

From Bro. Squires.

Bro. White: Having been permitted, through the goodness of God, to return to my family in peace and safety, I hasten to inform you of it.

Some four months ago, under an excitement, I enlisted. I did not then understand the position of the Seventh-day Adventists upon the war, and being here alone, and no one to counsel with, I voluntarily placed myself in a position contrary to the commandments. As soon as the excitement passed off, I saw my perilous situation, and prayed night and day for deliverance. The Lord heard and answered my prayers. Upon the 5th day of December I received my final discharge from the service of the United States, and arrived home last Tuesday night.

I still love the truths as proclaimed by the third angel, and am trying to live them out. I request an interest in your prayers, that we may hold out to the end, and be prepared to stand in the time of trouble just ahead of us. WM. P. SQUIRES.
