TITUS Z. ANDREWS. Church Clerk.
The Health Institute.
By J. M. A.
Our receipts and pledges this week for the Health Institute are a little more encouraging; but they are not yet coming in as promptly as the necessities of the case demand.
We are thankful to all who lend a helping hand in this time of need, and especially are we grateful to brethren who not only pledge and pay what they can themselves, but do all they can to present the claims of the Institute in a proper light before others. We would acknowledge the personal efforts of two or three such brethren, for the greater share of the pledges this week. One of these brethren was recently here and saw for himself the pressing wants of the Institute, and he is now laboring with his might to procure means to carry on the work. He says there is money enough in the ranks of our brethren, but the reason they do not send it in, is because they are “asleep,” and do not realize their duty in the matter.
We hope this brother and many more will continue the waking up business, until all our brethren are fully aroused to duty.
J. M. A.
P. S. Receipts still more encouraging. Since writing the above, and just before closing the business of the week, we received, by express, from Eld. J. H. Waggoner, a money package containing $840.00, of which $750.00 were for stock in the Institute. Of this amount, $600.00 were in 7-30 bonds (equal to $625.00 currency) from Bro. J. S. Wicks, of Berlin, Mich. This, with $100.00 previously paid, makes $625.00 stock for Bro. Wicks. Such helps are truly encouraging at the present time. We are glad to see a stirring commence among the 7-30s. Let it continue till this noble enterprise is borne on the rising tide far beyond the reach of pecuniary want or perplexity.

Health Institute Law Approved
By Editor
We announced last week the passage of the bill to provide a law under which an Association can be formed to hold the Health Institute. We are happy to make the still further announcement this week, that the bill has received the approval of the Governor, and the law is now a fixed fact. All uncertainty is therefore removed in reference to the manner in which the Institute can be held. The Association will be formed at the time of the next Conference, a board of trustees elected, and then the stockholders can have a direct voice, by vote, in the management of the Institution.
Request for the Whites to Relocate
We have received a request signed by sixty-eight brethren and sisters living in the counties of Montcalm and Ionia, in this State, for Bro. and sister White to locate in their midst. Bro. White desires, as will be seen by his two last reports, to fix his residence near Greenville, Montcalm Co. To this end he tenders his resignation of connection with the publishing department. The matter is deferred till Conference.
Copies of the Voice of the West
Can any of our brethren procure for us copies of the Voice of the West, of Feb. 19 and 26. We learn that they contain matter controverting some of our positions. We have sent to that office, but failed to obtain them.
Delayed Sunday Morning Mail
By a delay of the trains, caused no doubt by the recent severe weather, our usual Sunday morning mail failed, March 17, to come to hand. If brethren have sent appointments, or other important items, designed to reach us by that mail, they will understand the reason of their non-appearance.
TESTIMONY No. 12. It is uncertain when this work will be ready. Brethren will therefore save us some trouble by withholding further orders till it is announced as ready.
Time of the General Conference.
It has been decided that the General Conference for 1867, be held, Tuesday, May 14, Michigan State Conference, Wednesday, May 15, Publishing Association, Thursday, May 16, and meeting for the organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Health Reform Association, Friday, May 17. Each of these meetings to commence at 9 o'clock A. M. Sabbath and first-day will be devoted to religious services. Let all who come, come prepared to stay through. Such seasons should not close by piece-meal. Stay till you get the whole of the feast, the last as well as the first. It may be the last will be the best. The brethren and sisters are invited to observe the Sabbath preceding the Conference, May 11, as a day of fasting and prayer. More particulars hereafter.
To Correspondents.

FOR SALE.
By James White
I offer for sale my house, with five acres of fine garden land, situated in the city of Battle Creek, forty rods from the Health Institute, and about one hundred rods from the Review Office.
The house is twenty-six feet by thirty-two, two stories high. The lower rooms are eleven feet high, and the upper rooms, ten. It has below, a parlor, sitting-room, two bed-rooms, a closet, hall, and stairway. Above are two large rooms, a bed-room, and three clothes-rooms.
There is also a story and a half part of the house, twenty-six by thirty-two, containing a large kitchen, a bath-room, wood-room, and a buttery. Above are four bed-rooms and a clothes-room. The house has a first-class cellar, and a good well of water. It is comparatively new, and in first-rate repair. About $1200.00 were expended upon it last summer, in building the one story and a half part, in painting, and papering. The place has also a new barn which cost $400.00, about twenty-five bearing apple trees, forty peach trees, forty pear trees, twenty-two quince bushes, and grapes, Lawton blackberries, and raspberries, in abundance, and three thousand of the most improved strawberry plants, set out last summer.
Battle Creek is fast building up, and is one of the most flourishing cities in central Michigan. With a prospect of a new railroad, and other improvements, it holds out great inducements to those who choose city-life, especially to those who are interested in the Health Institute, and growing cause of Bible truth.
Here will be found a large assembly of Sabbath-keepers, soon to be accommodated in their new house of worship, a flourishing Sabbath School, and the interests and advantages of the Publishing Department.
TERMS.—Cash down; or, if the purchaser chooses, two-thirds, and good security. Immediate possession given. Inquire immediately of Eld. James White, Battle Creek, Mich.
We wish to sell, whether we move from the place or remain here, as our circumstances require that we should own a cheaper place. JAMES WHITE.
