If God has prepared the kingdom for you, he will prepare you for the kingdom; and if you are under preparation, you are very anxious and concerned that God should carry on his work.
A Christian should behave respectfully to all, giving honor to whom honor is due; and be constantly aiming at "whatsoever things are lovely and of good report."
OBITUARY.
DIED, in Hubbardstou, Mass., April 2, 1861, Bro. Thomas Hale, aged 52 years and 8 months. He received an injury last winter, rode out March 21, got chilled, the day being stormy, from which typhoid fever set in, which proved fatal. He leaves a widow and four sous to mouru his loss.
It becomes my painful duty to aunounce the death of my brother, Alonzo Caviuees, who died April 21, 1861, aged 5 years, 5 months, and 10 days. We do not mourn as those who have uo hope; for he sleeps in his grave till the Life-giver shall come, wheu he will awake iu glorious immortality. There I hope we all may meet where parting will be knowu no more.

Standing Firm Against Sabbath Opposition
Bro. J. H. Curtis writes from North Stockholm, N. Y.: "I feel that it becomes me to live very near to the bleeding side of Jesus. The desire of my heart is to be an overcomer, and be found with the remnant that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Like many others, I am tried and tempted. I can hardly leave my house to go any distance without meeting some one that has something to say to me against the Sabbath; which shows me that the dragon is wroth with the church, and is cultivating a war spirit towards the remnant of her seed that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus. I endeavor to sustain my ground with patience, trying to convince them of the truth by showing a spirit of love and kindness. I see that the aim among the opposers of present truth is to tear down the ten commandments when they can hold their ground no longer on the first day theory. May the Lord forgive them. God help us to be united in this great cause, giving more diligence that we may be found of him in peace. Let us count everything as lost, that we may win Christ and know the power of his resurrection. We are in perilous times, evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. O let us make haste to get ourselves ready to meet the Master when he returns from the wedding."
THE CIRCULAR.
By James White
Last week we sent a Circular to each reader of the Review for pledges for means to meet the present wants of the Publishing Department. A few brethren at the recent conference at Battle Creek, most of them poor, pledged to the amount of $1000. These Circulars should all be returned within two weeks with the pledges swelled to at least $10,000. The Association will work within its means. Therefore the amount of pledges will decide whether the present wants of the Publishing Department shall be fully met, or only in part. Those who have means at the Office can have it applied on shares, which it is hoped they will take liberally. Now is the time to place the Publishing Department in the right position, where it will from that time forward more than sustain itself.

NOTE TO THE BRN. AT MACKFORD, WIS.
By John Norton Loughborough

ENGLISH BIBLES.
We have on hand a good assortment of English Bibles from Canada, which we sell at the prices given below. The size is indicated by the amount of postage.
Bro. A. J. Emans writes from Leipsic, Ohio: "I write a few lines to let you and the brethren know that I and my family are still rejoicing in present truth. We do feel thankful that we have the privilege of being numbered with the Seventh-day Adventists. I feel to rejoice that the brethren are considering the matter, and some begin to think that the name is appropriate. Remember the cause in Ohio."
Preparing to Meet the Lord
Sr. Mary E. Armstrong writes from Waverly, Mich.: "I am striving to live out the truth, and to show to those around me that I am getting ready to meet my Lord. I believe he is soon coming the second time. We must get rid of everything that is wrong in the sight of God. We find the principles laid down in his word, and it is ours to receive them into the heart; and if they are in the heart they will bring out right actions, which will tell to those around us that we are the children of God."
APPOINTMENTS.
