Feb. 2, 3, had been appointed on which to hold a two-day's meeting at Dimondale. On the Sabbath the newly erected house of worship was well filled with brethren and their friends. We listened to a close, practical discourse by Eld. Fargo, from Acts 2:38. This was followed by a social meeting, also a discourse in the evening by Eld. Frisbie.
The dedication services took place at 10:30 A. M., on Sunday. Extra seats were placed in the aisles and elsewhere, but this was not enough to accommodate the people. After every available portion of the house was filled, even to the steps of the pulpit, loads of persons came and went away for want of room.
A discourse was given from Heb. 3:4, by which the attention of the congregation was called to the fact that God is the creator of all things and that he has set up a memorial to commemorate his creative work. This memorial is the seventh-day Sabbath. And now as there is a people in this vicinity who desire to show their faith in this God, they have commenced the observance of this memorial. This caused the necessity for a place of worship. This necessity has resulted in the house in which we are assembled, and which we are now dedicating to the service of the only Lord God. Care had been taken to have good music and singing, which added much to the interest of the services.
The church here is the result of Bro. John Sisley's labors. Its membership is small, and they have sacrificed nobly in the erection of their house. The house is 28x42, substantially and conveniently built.
In view of the outside interest here, it was thought best to follow the dedication with a series of meetings. This we are now engaged in, having a good attendance of attentive listeners. M. B. Miller.

Furnas Co., Feb. 4.
I commenced meetings in the Akes school-house, where Bro. Jenkins had been laboring, and had created a good interest. Some had already commenced to keep the Sabbath. He had been absent one week. The house is crowded evening after evening. Temporary seats are brought in, and some have to remain standing. The surrounding country is awakened, and men are anxiously inquiring if these things are so. By a unanimous vote of the school, I spend one-half their hour’s nooning in talking to them. I trust that some will be gathered into the heavenly garner.

Taylor Valley, Antelope Co., Feb. 4.
THE series of meetings commenced at this place Jan. 5, closed last evening. They have been well attended. We visited from house to house, distributing tracts and papers. Had some opposition from a Congregationalist minister of the place, on the subject of the kingdom, who, when I was absent, spoke on the subject, advocating the theory that the kingdom was set up at the first advent of our Lord. When I returned, I had good liberty in reviewing his position, to a crowded house.
At the close of the meetings, over twenty voted in favor of the Sabbath. Twelve signed the covenant to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, five of whom had never before made a profession of religion. There are several others who are deeply interested, and who will, I think, yet take a stand for the truth. We made arrangements for holding prayer-meetings Sabbaths at a private house, and will organize a tract society soon.
I now go to a new field about twenty miles distant, intending to return in a few weeks.

OLD CENTER is two miles distant from Edgefield Junction, and has a store, blacksmith shop, school-house and church. I have given seventeen discourses here, with some omens of good. A few have rested one Sabbath, nearly all acknowledge that the seventh day is the Bible Sabbath, but want to see their preacher.

Religious Intolerance Against Lutheran Pastors in Hesse
A CASE of religious intolerance is reported from Germany. The facts, as stated in the Christian Union, are that a number of Lutheran ministers in Hesse Darmstadt, who had resisted the introduction of a new ecclesiastical constitution, were deposed in consequence from their livings and emoluments. Thinking that when thrust out of the church they were free from its discipline, and relying on the protection which the law gives to all religious bodies, some of them undertook to hold services in their own houses. For this experiment several pastors of high character have been brought before the civil courts and heavily fined, with the alternative of imprisonment. In the case of several their furniture has been seized, and they and their families have been reduced to the direst poverty. This reads not unlike a story from the days of Charles I. or James II.—Religious Intelligencer.
The Ant as a Monitor of Mankind
THE instincts of the ant are very unimportant, considered as the ant; but the moment a ray of relation is seen to extend from it to man, and the little drudge is seen to be a monitor, a little body with a mighty heart, then all its habits, even that said to be recently observed, that it never sleeps, become sublime.—Emerson.
Obituary Notices.
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died, at Bradford, Pa., Oct. 7, 1877, of consumption, sister Mary A. Metzgar, aged about 35 years. She had been a believer in the last message for quite a number of years, and fell asleep in triumphant faith. She was buried at Corydon, by the side of her husband, who died some years ago in the same precious faith and hope. Discourse by a Methodist minister, from 1 Cor. 15:35. “Asleep in Jesus, soon to rise.” R. F. C.

Died, in Valley, Greenwood Co., Kan., Jan. 23, 1878, my wife, Louisa E. Holloway, aged 33 years and 11 months. Her sickness was short and painful; but she was wonderfully sustained by divine grace, and fell asleep in Jesus with a sure hope of a part in the first resurrection. She leaves a husband and four children. Lemuel Holloway.
N. Y. AND PA. T. AND M. SOCIETY.
By B. L. Whitney; E. H. Whitney
The State quarterly meeting of this society was held at East Otto, N. Y., Jan. 18 and 19, 1878. The meeting was called to order by the president, and opened with the usual exercises. The summary of labor for the quarter ending Jan. 1, is as follows:
No. of families visited, 409; letters written, 165; pages distributed, 154,477; new subscribers for REVIEW, 15; INSTRUCTOR, 35; REFORMER, 50; SIGNS, 28. No. of SIGNS taken in clubs during the quarter, 38.
Money rec’d on membership, $27.00
By donations, 170.19
From book sales, 65.30
On periodicals, 159.45
Total, $421.94
The reports came in slowly, some of them not being received till the last of January, and some of them reporting the labor of but one or two churches.
Despite these discouraging features, the meeting was one of much interest to those present. Several deeply interesting cases were introduced of those who had embraced the truth through the efforts of tract workers. Families and isolated individuals had received the truth, and were in turn working for others.
In view of the increasing work in this direction, sister Addie Bowen was appointed assistant State secretary.
As Bro. D. B. Welch, director of Dist. No. 10, had tendered his resignation, it was accepted and Bro. D. C. Phillips appointed to fill the vacancy.

Is it Consistent.
By Roswell F. Cottrell
Each religious party, believing of course that they are right in faith and practice, desire to convince all others of the truth, that they too may enjoy the blessing of a true faith. This is commendable; for none should be willing selfishly to enjoy so great a blessing alone, but should desire others to share the same benefit. For this reason S. D. Adventists are laboring to convince others that the seventh day is the Lord’s Sabbath, that they too may enjoy the blessing to be enjoyed by those who keep the commandments of God.
But there is a very large class who tell us that to keep one day in seven is all that the law of God requires. We who keep the seventh day are doing this; for the seventh day is truly one day in seven. But the object which our friends have in view is not to convince us that we are right, though we do all that their theory requires, but to persuade all to keep the particular day which they observe, the first day of the week. Is this consistent? We are living out their theory to the letter; and we, like them, persuade others to do as we do, that is, to keep the day which God has named in the commandment; for we believe that God has appointed a particular day. They too have a definite day which they desire all to keep; but to bring us to observe their favorite, particular day, they put forth a theory which justifies us in keeping the day we are keeping. Is this consistent? Will they be likely to convince us by such an argument? Is it not rather an excuse for disobedience, than an argument for what they believe to be the truth?

The Review and Herald.
By Editor
Battle Creek, Mich., Fifth-Day, Feb. 14, 1878.
We commence, this week, a very important article on the subject of Baptism, from the pen of Bro. Waggoner. It will treat the subject more fully than anything heretofore published in the columns of the REVIEW, and hence will supply a long-felt want. It will occupy several numbers of the paper. Begin with the beginning and carefully read them all as they appear.
The article from Bro. Ribton, of Italy, on our third page, will be read with interest by all. We are happy to hear Dr. R. express himself so decidedly in reference to the great doctrine of the near coming of Christ.
We have shipped, during the past week, by mail, express and freight, books to the amount of $1296.27, as per receipts in this number. The rays of light are being thus rapidly scattered over all the land.
The SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Oakland, Cal., our pioneer paper, reported in its last issue, a regular subscription list of nine thousand.
The same telegram last week brought important news from the two great centers of attraction in the East: namely, of the death of the pope, and the occupation of the fortifications of Constantinople by the Russian troops. This last movement, it is said, involves matters in new complications, and opens the Eastern Question in earnest. The end is not yet.
Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 3.
This volume, by Mrs. E. G. White, is now ready. It dwells very fully upon the sufferings and death of Christ, his resurrection and ascension to Heaven, and closes with an account of the lives, teachings and persecutions of the apostles. It is written in the same forcible and impressive style as the preceding volumes, and is a book of equally thrilling interest. It will be hailed with gladness everywhere by those best acquainted with sister W. and her work. In style, size and price, it is the same as Vols. 1 and 2; pages 400; price $1.00.
Biblical Institute for New York and Pennsylvania.
It is now decided that this Institute will be held three weeks, commencing Tuesday, March 19, 1878. The services of Eld. U. Smith, who has so successfully conducted these Institutes in other localities, have been secured for this occasion. The place will be announced next week. We make this statement in answer to the many inquiries as to the date at which the Institute will be held, and also to call attention to the fact that especial efforts for its success should be made by all the friends of the cause in this Conference.
No one who has any just idea of the wants of the cause among us can question the necessity that such an Institute should be held. When we consider that within the limits of our Conference are included more than one-fifth the entire population of the nation, and then remember how few we have to publicly proclaim the message, we can certainly see the importance of using such means as this for preparing laborers for the field.
Not less than one hundred young men and women should attend this Institute, and have the benefit of the instruction they can receive there. Will all our churches attend to this at once, and see that the proper persons are encouraged to attend; also that means are raised to defray the expenses of those who are unable to meet the expense themselves? We request all who expect to attend, and all who feel anxious to do so but do not feel able, to correspond with Eld. B. L. Whitney, Rome, N. Y., that proper arrangements may be made, and that those who are worthy may, if possible, receive assistance. Further particulars next week. Conf. Committee.
Special Meeting of General Conference.
By General Conference Committee
A SPECIAL meeting of the S. D. A. General Conference will be held in Battle Creek, Mich., commencing March 1, at 9 o’clock A. M., and continuing to March 5.
The circumstances which demand this special session are the enlargement of our work in all its departments, and the consequent necessity of devising ways and means to most effectually improve the openings which the providence of God is placing before us. The general campaign is to be planned for the coming season. Interests at home and abroad are to be considered. Every Conference should be represented by delegates or letter. GEN. CONF. COMMITTEE.
