QUITMAN, GEORGIA.
By C. O. Taylor
When I came here last fall, I brought about two hundred pounds of reading matter, back numbers of the REVIEW, REFORMERS, and INSTRUCTOR. I am satisfied they have done much good by causing many to examine the Sabbath question. I have often asked, What do you think of the Sabbath? The reply has been, I think you have it. I am out of REFORMERS; the REVIEWS are running low. A box will be sent from Adams Center as soon as enough can be gathered there. Will our brethren who have back numbers of either, and who wish to have some interest in this southern field, send them to J. L. Green, Adams Center, Jefferson Co., N. Y., soon? It has done me much good to see with what eagerness the papers have been received. Many times a dozen hands are held out at once to receive them.
I find some Advent faith among the people. Many believe we are in the last days, and are looking with interest to passing events. I spoke in the court house yesterday to a large audience on the home of the redeemed. The editor of one of the papers remarked that he had believed for some time that the earth would be the home of the saints. So far as I have seen, our brethren need have no fears in coming South to proclaim the truth. We are treated very kindly. C. O. Taylor.
TENNESSEE
By Orlando Soule
Five more have signed the covenant at Union Chapel, and seven others are keeping the Sabbath.
June 23, 24, the church at Edgefield Junction and Sabbath-keepers from the Chapel met with the Ridge church in general meeting. Thirty-five Sabbath-keepers were in attendance, the largest gathering of the kind ever convened in this State. The Spirit of God was with us to the close. The ordinances were celebrated.
From Bro. P. D. Moyers I learned that the Mt. Gilead church is still steadfast in the truth. Bro. Moyers, while laboring to support his family, spends Sabbaths and Sundays in the Lord’s vineyard; and is raising an interest in several directions.
Not long ago, I met a young man from South Carolina, who is a school teacher and a student of law. I gave him tracts. Soon after, I received a letter from him in which he expresses faith in “the doctrines of S. D. Adventists.” He also mentioned a lady Sabbath-keeper who resides in another part of the State.
I am now on my way to select a suitable place for our general meeting this fall.

The article by the General Conference Committee, on “Regular Quarterly Meetings” was read by the president, and it was unanimously voted to adopt the plan recommended.
It was thought best to divide the State into more districts, so that the missionary work could be engaged in more effectually. Eld. J. B. Goodrich, T. S. Emery, G. W. Barker, and J. E. Baker were chosen a committee to act in the matter.
The camp-meeting was discussed, and it was finally decided to have it at Richmond, where it was held last year. It was then voted that the Chair appoint a Camp-meeting Committee. G. W. Barker, Geo. W. Umberhind, and R. J. Goodrich were appointed as said committee.
Adjourned to call of Chair.

BREAD CAST UPON THE WATERS.
By E. M. Saddler
The following is an extract from a letter which I received a short time ago, from a Christian friend:—
“I was upon the water, enjoying the pleasures afforded by the hook and line, when suddenly a dark cloud arose over the western horizon. As the storm approached, I retired to a sheltered spot, where I could fasten my boat, and be protected from the storm. While sitting there in the solitude, I glanced at some rubbish which had been washed upon the bank during high water, and noticed a pamphlet entitled, Our Faith and Hope. It came at just the right time. My soul was hungering for spiritual food. I eagerly read and digested its valuable contents.
“I there felt for the first time that I could kneel down in perfect confidence and pray to my Heavenly Father. Oh! what a sweet communion it was with him who heareth in secret and rewardeth openly. Since that time, I have been trying to serve my Master with all my powers.
“In looking over the lists of publications, I saw many titles which suited my fancy, and I immediately sent for the works. I think I am in full harmony in regard to religious belief with all S. D. Adventists; and though I know of none within many miles of me, I feel that God meets with me just the same. My hours of prayer are the sweetest of my life. Oh! that more bread might be cast upon the waters.
“I think this would be a good place for a minister to labor in the cause of God. I have been trying to present the truths of the third angel’s message before my neighbors and friends. They seem very much interested. G. R. GILMAN.
“Warren Co., Tenn.”
Where did that tract come from? Was not a Divine Providence directing it? Who can doubt it? Oh, may some one go to aid him in this blessed cause? E. M. SADDLER.
TO THE BRETHREN AND SISTERS IN KANSAS.
By Geo. Kennedy
A new year of labor has opened before us. Your ministers are just going out into new fields; and by the help of the Lord and your prayers, we expect to accomplish great things in the Lord’s work this year. You have said to us, Leave your homes, families and friends, and labor in the whitening fields of the Lord’s great harvest. We go, obeying your voice; but we must have your prayers. We can do but little without them. Let them go up as the voice of one man.
Come, brethren and sisters, let us humble ourselves in the beginning of our Conference year. Let the hour of seven in the evening be the hour for our prayers to go up together. How it would strengthen and cheer the hearts of God’s servants to know that at that hour, all over our Conference, prayers were being offered in their behalf! “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” May God speed our work during the coming year.
GEO. KENNEDY.
Obituary Notices.
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, of quick consumption, in Linneus, Aroostook Co., Maine, June 14, 1877. Sr. Clarissa Adams, aged 71 years, 8 months, and 23 days. Sr. Adams embraced present truth about a year and a half ago, and died in the faith, in hope of eternal life in the kingdom. Sermon by the writer, from Rom. 1:16, to a large circle of relatives and friends.
Samuel J. Hersum.
DIED, in Kensington, Conn., May 6, 1877, of lingering consumption, my dear wife, Mary S. Wilcox, aged 54 years. She had been identified with God’s dear waiting people since their great disappointment, so that the truths we have so long believed and loved were ever precious to her heart; and with an unshaken confidence in their final triumph, she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, leaving an aged mother, an only brother, two children, and a companion, to mourn her loss.
John Y. Wilcox.
DIED, June 20, 1877, of spinal fever, in Birch Run, Mich., Angeline, wife of Niles Bartholomew, and daughter of Dr. J. D. and Eliza Hough, aged 31 years, 1 month, and 15 days. She embraced the truth about 18 years ago, and has since lived a very consistent Christian life. A short time before her death, she was led to cry to God for an evidence of her acceptance with him; the blessing came, and she was made very happy and resigned to the will of the Lord, though she wished to live for the sake of her three little boys. Funeral discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:14.
R. J. Lawrence.
The Banian Tree.
THE Scientific American of June 30, 1877, states a fact which well illustrates the representations of the book of Revelation concerning the tree of life, which, though but one tree, grows on both sides of the river of life. The illustration is found in the banian tree, of which that paper says:—
“An instance of the vast extent of country which may be covered by a single banian grove is furnished by the island of Nerbudda, which is entirely covered by one tree. A considerable portion of the island and the grove growing upon it has been washed away by river floods during recent years; but enough remains to make one of the noblest groves in the world. The natives boast that it once afforded shelter to a troop of 10,000 horses. Another extensive banian forest—all parts of one tree—occurs in the district of Beerbhoom, in Bengal. It covers ‘an immense extent of country,’ and overshadows more than four hundred temples.”

The Baltimore and Ohio, and Pan Handle railroads run near the ground, and trains will stop for the accommodation of passengers. They have promised us a reduction of fare, but definite arrangements will be made and announced hereafter. Ample provision will be made for man and beast. We desire that all the tents be pitched on Thursday, the day before the meeting begins. The situation is a fine one, and we confidently expect the largest meeting of the kind ever held in Ohio. Efficient and experienced speakers will be in attendance. Come with your small tents, brethren, from every direction, bringing with you many precious souls for whom you hope. Let the lonely, scattered ones that cannot procure tents come, bringing bedding, etc., and a place will be found for them. Let all come prepared to stay till the close. Come, praying for a refreshing season. H. A. St. John.

Truth in the Door Yard and the Heart
That man who has given the truth a place in his door yard (see report of Brn. Tenney and Reed in this number) we trust will in due time go a step further and give it a place in his heart, to be there an unfailing fountain of peace and comfort, and a guide to the soon-coming kingdom of glory.
Deserving Attention.
An interested reader of the REVIEW writes from Sandusky, O. :—
“I would be glad to have one of your preachers here, if possible; and if you think it best to send one, where the truth has been so little heard, I will be glad to keep him at my expense until he awakens an interest, if it takes all summer.”
We trust the help so earnestly called for by one who claims to be as yet only interested, can be supplied. We send the original letter to the President of the Ohio Conference.
He Don't Live There.
THE address of John Snyder, Director of Dist. No. 1, Mo. T. and M. Society, was incorrectly given in last week's REVIEW, in the report of the Mo. T. and M. Society. It is not Winstonville, but Gallatin, Daviess Co. Please notice and write accordingly.
The Dark Day of 1780.
By Uriah Smith
In another column will be found a very interesting description of this most remarkable phenomenon. The work from which it is taken is of such a character that all that is set forth in the article is entitled to the greatest consideration.
One noticeable feature of the general descriptions of this event is the efforts to explain it, and the signal failure of all such efforts. If the darkness arose from ordinary causes like the development and condensation of vapor, peculiar clouds, vast quantities of ligneous or volcanic smoke, etc., we ask why such a combination of circumstances happened to occur at just that time, but never before to such an extent, and never since. Some claim that there have been multitudes of dark days, and therefore no phenomenon of this kind can be a sign of the end. But the writer of this article notices only two other events of this nature, probably because he finds only these two that he considers worthy of notice in connection with the memorable occurrence of May 19, 1780; and it will be noticed that these fall within that specified period where they also may perhaps be signs. Thus Mark, recording the prophecy, says, “In those days after that tribulation.” The days are the 1260 years of papal continuance, and the tribulation, the papal persecution upon the church of Christ. The “tribulation” was restrained by the great Reformation, but the “days” extended to 1798. Somewhere therefore between the middle of the 16th century and 1798 we are to look for this sign. And all three of the occurrences of this nature mentioned by this writer fall within this time. Why may they not all be signs? If God should choose to warn the people of one locality at one time, and repeat the lesson to those of another at another time, within the limits when these things were to appear, would they not be equally significant to their respective beholders? These others are declared to be just as mysterious, but not so extensive, as the darkness of May 19, 1780; and putting them all together, we have this striking sign exhibited over no small portion of the earth’s surface. U. S.
“Curus Christian Dooty.”
THE style of the following lines we neither fancy nor approve; but the sentiment is too pointed and good to be lost; and for the sake of that we tolerate the quaint garb in which it is presented. We take it from the Advocate of Peace where it is introduced with these lines:—
“The following paragraphs from the renowned author, Hosea Biglow (James Russell Lowell), though written more than twenty years ago, have lost none of their force; and their pointed sarcasm is applicable to the present generation.”
“Ez for war, I call it murder,
There you have it, plain and flat;
I don’t want to go no furder
Then my Testyment for that.
God has said so, plum and fairly,
It’s as long as it is broad,
And you’ve got to git up airly
If you’re goin’ to cheat the Lord.
“’Taint yeur eppylettes and feathers,
Makes the thing a grain more right,
’Taint a follerin’ your bell-weathers
Will excuse you in his sight.
Ef you take a sword and draw it
And go stick a feller thru,
Gov’ment aint to answer for it,
God will send the bill to you.
“Wot’s the use o’ meetin’ goin’
Every Sunday, wet or dry,
Ef it’s right to go a mowin’
Feller-men like oats and rye?
I dunno but what it’s pooty
Trainin’ round in bobtail coats,
But it’s curus Christian dooty,
This ere cuttin’ folks’s throats.”
