G. W. STRICKLAND

By G. W. Strickland

From Bro. Strickland.

BRO. WHITE : I am glad that I ever heard the sound of the third angel's message, and that my lot has been cast with this people, that are waiting and looking for the coming of our Redeemer. Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus; and the word of God says that they shall have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city. I am trying and hope to make a prosperous journey to that blessed city. I praise the Lord for this blessed hope.

By P. Strong

From Bro. Strong.

BRO. WHITE: I have closed my meetings in Bushnell for the present. There are four obeying the truth as the result of the meetings, and much interest is manifested still, in this place, and others, to hear further.

But fever and ague has obliged me to close up meetings for the present. I hope soon to be able to return and labor further in that place.

JOHN MATTESON

By John Matteson

From Bro. Matteson.

BRO. WHITE: I attended for the first time the Wisconsin and Illinois State Conference at Clyde, commencing the 6th inst.

The meeting-house was crowded with attentive hearers, while some able discourses were delivered by our messengers, and many cheering testimonies were given by the brethren and sisters. I feel very thankful to God that I here found some warm-hearted brethren, who were willing to obey the solemn warnings and kind invitations of the third angel's message. May the Lord further guide and teach them that they may be prepared at his glorious coming. And may our ministering brethren seek more and more of the pure and gentle influence of God's Holy Spirit to be manifested in their praying and preaching. May the Lord grant it for Jesus' sake.

JOHN MATTESON

Oakland, Wis., Oct. 10, 1864.

Encouragement in Lonely Circumstances

Sister Ann M. Laroch writes from Ely, C. E.: I am still striving to overcome and be prepared for the kingdom. I do not feel discouraged in the least. Although I cannot have the privilege of meeting with those of like precious faith, I can truly praise the Lord for what he has done for me, in giving me a disposition to try to obey him and keep his commandments. I love to hear from the brethren and sisters scattered abroad. It strengthens and encourages me in my lonely situation.

Obituary Notices.

DIED, of diptheria, in Monsonville, N. H., June 30, 1864, Freddy Wellman, aged four years, four months, and three days. Also, July 14th, Oscar Edson, aged one year, two months and nine days, only sons of Bro. A. and sister L. Green. Little Freddy seemed to bear under this dreadful disease, a remarkable degree of patience, and a few hours before he closed his eyes in death, he calmly, bid his father, mother, and sister, good-by. While they mourn for their dear children their hearts are comforted with the thought that they are taken from the evil to come. J. PHILBRICK.

DIED, Sept. 26th, 1864, at Palo, Mich., the youngest child of brother and sister Lane. Remarks by the writer from John xi, 35. P. STRONG.

Outward Acts and Inward Lusts

Outward acts are the most scandalous among men but inward lusts are the most dangerous before God.

The streams of defilement which appear in your life do but show what a fountain of wickedness there is in your heart.

Good Health.

By John Nevins Andrews

THIS invaluable blessing is the result not of accident, but of conformity to the laws of our being. Those who transgress these immutable principles must sooner or later become sick. To leave off every injurious article of food, and to lead lives of temperance under the influence of good instruction and of conscience toward God, are among the things most essential to good health.

Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. That we may truly glorify him in our bodies, as in our spirits, how requisite that we possess in full vigor all the powers of our physical being.

Thank God that this subject is now being especially set before our people. Health and strength are among the things most valuable to us, and of great consequence to those who shall witness the grand events of the time of trouble. J. N. ANDREWS.

The Soul Neglected

By Editor

READ the stirring piece in another column, headed "The Soul Neglected," which we copy from the N. Y. Independent; and after you have read it, and treasured up for yourself its sterling truths, do more. Hand it to your impenitent friend. It may awake him before too late, to the interest of his soul's salvation.

Report of the New York Conference

By Editor

We give this week, the full report of the doings of the N. Y. Conference, though there was no vote to that effect; for the brethren everywhere will be interested to know what the friends in N. Y. are doing. The three last resolutions, which were given last week, are too good to be hurt by repetition.

Dietary Reform for Dyspeptics

By Editor

THE word to the dyspeptic from Dio Lewis, in this number, we regard as good advice for the commencement of reform in this direction. Some of his articles of diet, will perhaps be considered by many "contraband." But if those who have been accustomed to the popular mode of living, and especially those who have been made dyspeptic thereby, will confine themselves to the kinds and qualities of animal food which he allows, and to two meals a day, a good commencement will have been made. They are then prepared to carry the reform as much further as they may become convinced that their physical good demands.

Conference Minutes Distributed

By Editor

MINUTES of the Vermont Conference have been printed and sent to D. T. Bourdeau. Also Minutes of the Minnesota Conference, printed and sent to Washington Morse, Deerfield, Minn. We shall this week print and send to the persons designated by the Secretary, the Minutes of the N. Y. Conferences.
