It will be seen by this week's REVIEW that we have three appointments for tract meetings in Wisconsin. It is our purpose to visit Minnesota next. Our meetings are not designed so much to benefit those not interested in the truth as to help our brethren and sisters.
The object we have in view is two-fold. 1. To show the relation we, as individuals, sustain to the cause of God: 2. To learn how we can discharge the duties devolving upon us as co-laborers with Jesus Christ in the great plan of salvation.
Social meetings will be held, in which special efforts will be made to seek God. We firmly believe that the third angel's message is practical, and that we, individually, have a part to act in the spread of the truth.
This we can all do, if we understand how to go to work. And finally, we believe that the time for labor is very short; soon troublous times will be upon us. We are exceedingly anxious, therefore, to see as many of our brethren and sisters present at these meetings as possible. There will be no postponement on account of the weather. I have had to fill some appointments by riding horseback fifteen miles, on account of the mud.
At the close of our last meeting, which continued four days, averaging, in all, about six hours each day, the almost unanimous testimony of those present, borne with deep feeling, was that they thanked God for the meetings. They had been benefited, and were going home to work for God as never before. We therefore say to our brethren and sisters, Come to the meetings prepared to stay till the close. Come, seeking God with all the heart, and with God's blessing the meetings will be seasons of great profit to all. We shall do the best we can to have them so.

The King Is Dead.
“WHILE all the world has been waiting for news of the death of the pope, few thought that the days of Victor Emmanuel, his life-long antagonist, were numbered, and that the strong, hearty, rough-riding, honest man was nearer to death than his illustrious ‘prisoner of the Vatican.’ The King of Italy is dead, of fever, and his death is of as great importance to the Catholic world, almost, as that of the pope will be; for it will seat upon the throne of Italy a king who is of even more determined will than his father, and whose hostility to the church is of a far more pronounced character. . . .
‘In Victor Emmanuel a great figure in contemporaneous history passes away. He was one of the mighty few destined to lead the great events of this liberty-developing epoch, and his name will live as that of a consummate statesman, an able warrior, and a liberty-loving, constitutional king. From the time he snatched up the scepter which fell from the weak hands of his father, Charles Albert, on the bloody field of Novaro (1849), till the day in which he marched in triumph into Rome, he was animated by the central motive of the unification of his country, and her delivery from the hateful oppression of Austria, the influence of the papal temporality, and the brutality of the Neapolitan Bourbons. Watching, working, and waiting, knowing how to bide his time, and how to strike when the time had come, by continual effort and steady determination, he accomplished his great end, and, like Gustavus Vasa, completed his life-task by making his people as free as the freest of the earth,”
The foregoing we clip from a lengthy article in the Detroit Evening News. Victor Emmanuel’s son Humbert, under the title of Humbert I., now takes the throne of Italy.
To the Churches in New England.
By S. N. Haskell
THE secretary of the New England Conference who was elected in August, 1877, living at a distance from where most of the business of the Conference is done, and his circumstances rendering it inconvenient for him to attend general meetings, has resigned, requesting some other person to act in his stead. I have therefore appointed Eld. D. A. Robinson, South Lancaster, Mass., to act as Conference secretary, and the clerks will return their church reports to him.
This notice I should have given before.

“Take Heed that No Man Deceive You.”
By L. D. Santee
MANY of our brethren in the East are moving to Kansas. Often they move to localities where there are no church privileges, and getting discouraged, go back into the world. I would say to all who contemplate moving west, Don't rely on the papers and guides sent East to induce immigration. But if any think of coming to Kansas, let them address me, and I will give them the names of reliable parties with whom they can correspond. Inclose stamp for reply.

Littlejohn's Articles on the Rich Man and Lazarus
The articles by Bro. Littlejohn on the Rich Man and Lazarus, published in the last volume of the REVIEW, were copied into our paper from the Sabbath Recorder.
Review of The Normal Offering Magazine
We have received the first number of “The Normal Offering,” published by B. F. Merritt and A. J. Dennis, at Normal, Illinois. A magazine for the Household. Monthly, 32 pages. Price $1.00 a year. During 1878 it is offered at half price, in order to introduce it. The contents of this first number show a good variety and excellent quality of matter. It advocates the observance of the seventh day as the Sabbath, and the doctrines of the unconscious state of the dead, and the soon-coming of Christ.
We wish it might have abundant success, but fear that it will find it uphill business to make these views welcome doctrines in a sufficient number of households to furnish the needed support.
This is the way the devil takes some folks:—
A New York jeweler from whom a stranger ordered eight hundred dollars’ worth of watches in the name of a well-known Stamford man, took the goods to Stamford, instead of sending them, because he feared a swindle. He found his suspicions verified, and felt so good to think he had not been cheated that he got drunk, when a thief robbed him of his eight-hundred-dollar package.
