Earlier text: Report from Bro. Loughborough

A Testimony of Progress

From Bro. Woodman.

BRO. SMITH: It has been about nine years since the light upon the Sabbath and its kindred truths began to dawn upon my pathway. And when I look back upon the state of the cause at that time, and consider its progress until the present, I can but feel like exclaiming, The Lord be praised! His hand, I know, is in the work, and his cause is onward, still onward. And although I am at present deprived of the privilege of going up to the house of the Lord with his people, a privilege which I have ever highly prized, I am encouraged from week to week, by reading the cheering reports from the brethren scattered through the wide harvest-field. How the truth spreads and the light increases.
The Health Reform is destined to do a great work for this people, I believe. When we become “temperate in all things,” then we shall be better prepared for the trials that await us. When I think of the onward march of present truth, I am oftimes led to inquire, Shall I keep pace with it? or shall I be left behind, and be lost at last? I mean to keep striving, and by the assisting grace of God I hope to overcome. I know it will cost many strong efforts and hard struggles, but if victorious in the end, I know the prize is ours. J. A. WOODMAN. North Leeds, Maine.

B. G. ALLEN

From Sister Allen.
BRO. SMITH: I have long felt it duty to say to the brethren and sisters through the Review, that I enjoy very much their testimonies and reports. I was much pleased when I read Bro. P. C. Rodman's call for help. I hope it will be heeded. May God in mercy give the hearing ear and the understanding heart. I pity those that are turning a deaf ear to Bible truths. Jesus will soon come and they will have no oil in their lamps. I hope the lonely ones will hold fast till Jesus comes. It wont be long. By help divine I am holding fast to the great and solemn truths for this time, also to my tongue when I am provoked and tempted by the unbeliever. Thirty-five years since I came out publicly on the Lord's side. He has so held me up that I have not backslidden, and I have been seeking continually after truth and right.
Experience and study have prepared me to say that the Seventh-day Advent people have the most correct appreciation of Bible truths of any denomination I have any knowledge of. I have dropped my errors, one after another, as fast as I found truth to supersede them.
“The worth of Truth no tongue can tell; It will do to buy, but not to sell.”
I love all the writings of sister White. They have done me much good. The Health Reformer, I think is a cheap but good doctor.
I am a lonely one as yet, but I feel to thank God and take courage. Though deprived of your meetings, and your good society here, I hope to be gathered with you when Jesus comes. I would humbly ask an interest in your prayers for the same.

The Cause at Mackford, Wis.

Thinking that it might be interesting to our sister churches to know how we as a church are prospering, I pen these lines for the Review. We are in sympathy with the way the Lord is leading his people, yet we have trials in common with our Advent brethren. Satan still lives, and while his power lasts we expect we shall have to battle every inch of ground. A few of our members have turned their backs to the cause and are uniting with the rebellious ones in Iowa to oppose those truths which we, as a people, hold dear. “They went out from us, but they were not of us.” 1 Jno. ii, 19. The chaff must be sifted from the wheat to purify the church, and though some may fall in the battle, we are not discouraged, but are trying to rise with the message and get into working order.
We have moved out and held some meetings which we think have been blessed of the Lord. We have a few scattered members in the vicinity of Berlin, for whose benefit we appointed a meeting last fall, which was held in the Seventh-day Baptist church in that place. At that meeting we had a free time. The blessing of God rested down upon us, and we truly felt that our own souls were watered while trying to labor for the good of others. Our Seventh-day Baptist friends met with us and were interested. They cordially invited us to meet with them again, which invitation was accepted. Accordingly we appointed a two-days meeting, which was held Feb. 2, 3. We went to this appointment in company with members from the Marquette church, and held in all five meetings. At these meetings, as before, the good Spirit of the Lord was present and we had a free time in talking the truth.
We presented the subjects of the personal, second advent of our Lord from Heaven and the signs of the times, and showed that Christ’s coming is a Bible doctrine, and that the Son of man is near, even at the door, and that before this generation will have passed he will be seen coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. We also spoke of the reward of the righteous in the kingdom, and the inheritance of the saints when this earth shall be brought back to its Eden beauty and redeemed from the curse. The people were interested and wish to hear more, therefore we intend to meet with them again, March 8th and 9th, and perhaps stay longer if the interest demands. We believe there are honest souls there who want the truth and may be saved if some of our brethren whose lives have not been blameless will remove the stumbling-blocks and get out of their way. May the Lord help them is my prayer. God’s people should be the light of the world. Oh! how necessary that we should so live that our light can shine.
Brethren pray for us that God’s blessing may attend our feeble efforts to advance his cause, and that honest souls may be led into the truth.

Report from Rhode Island.

By request of Bro. Rodman and Howard I send the following brief report of the progress of the cause in this quarter. Bro. L. L. Howard arrived at Ashaway on Tuesday night, Feb. 5, and on the following day formed an acquaintance with most of the brethren in this place. On Wednesday evening we had a social meeting at the house of Bro. B. F. Carpenter. Bro. Rodman, who had previously been sent for, was also present. Bro. Howard spoke at some length on the law, and the relation God's people sustained to it, and was followed by Bro. Rodman and the rest of the brethren and sisters present, all of whom took part. Unanimity of sentiment prevailed, and we felt refreshed.
On Thursday evening we repaired to Academy Hall, where we listened to a lecture on the subject of “Spiritualism vs. Materialism,” by S. S. Griswold, pastor of a Seventh-day Baptist church some three miles from here. Mr. Griswold takes extreme Spiritualistic ground, and has many sympathizers in this region. Although the Adventists here are few in number, our influence is being felt, and in anticipation of the visit of Bro. Howard, the people had engaged Mr. Griswold to open the hall for us in advance. Mr. Griswold is an able speaker, and has the ability to handle his subject and the sympathies of his audience at will. We took notes to that extent that at the close we had all the leading arguments in Mr. G.'s own words. Bro. Howard and myself spent most of sixth-day transcribing and preparing our notes.
On Sabbath evening we all attended meeting at the Seventh-day Baptist church at this place. The pastor being absent, Bro. Howard was invited to preach, and he spoke about an hour from 2 Tim. iv, 7, 8. The crown of righteousness was faithfully held up before those present, and even those who did not fully believe in the personal advent of Christ, could not resist the influence that seemed to pervade the meeting. On Sabbath morning we attended the funeral of one of the oldest inhabitants of the place. On this occasion Eld. G. B. Utter, Editor of the Sabbath Recorder, gave us a discourse on the personal coming of Christ, which, in the main, was to the point and according to the Word; but in the close, he unwittingly spoiled his own arguments by asserting that Bro. L. (the deceased) lived on while his body was dead.
On Sabbath afternoon Bro. Howard preached in Academy Hall to an attentive audience, on the atonement. A good interest was manifested, and a new vein of thought was evidently opened to many of them.
Evening after the Sabbath the brethren met at the house of Bro. Rodman, where we had a heart-searching time. All seemed determined to consecrate themselves anew to the work.
First-day afternoon Bro. Howard spoke in Academy Hall to a fair audience, on the literal fulfillment of prophecy, and again in the evening, on the “Nature and Destiny of Man.” This lecture called out some opposition. On Monday evening Bro. H. spoke on the resurrection. This called out still more opposition, as it began to display the fallacy of Mr. Griswold's theory. Tuesday evening Mr. Griswold was reviewed, and on this occasion the opposition rose to a high pitch, and an effort was necessary to restrain the excitement within proper limits. Anger, almost amounting to fierceness, took possession of some of Mr. G.'s disciples, and on Wednesday evening Mr. G. himself was present. This evening Bro. Howard spoke on the subject of “Life through Christ,” to which Mr. Griswold briefly replied. In closing his remarks, Mr. G. stated that he would be happy to discuss the question publicly. Bro. Howard was not prepared to accept the challenge, since he was here under instructions to visit Rhode Island and Connecticut churches. He will do so if Bro. Andrews thinks proper when he comes.
On Thursday evening, Feb. 14, the brethren and sisters met for prayer and conference, and had a very happy season. Bro. Howard and Rodman thought proper to invite me to accompany them on their tour among the churches, and on Friday, the 15th, we left Ashaway for South Kingston.

GOING HOME.

Let worldly minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once I admired its trifles too, But grace has set me free.
CHORUS:
Going home, going home, to dwell where Jesus is; Going home, going home, going home to die no more.
It's pleasures can no longer please, Nor happiness afford; Far from my heart be joys like these, Now I have seen the Lord. etc.
As by the light of opening day, The stars are all concealed, So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is revealed. etc.
Creatures no more divide my choice, I bid them all depart; His name, his love, his gracious voice, Have fixed my roving heart. etc.

Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Rev. xiv, 13.
FELL asleep, in Winfield, Montcalm Co., Mich., on the morning of Dec. 26, 1866, our youngest brother, Henry C. Rust, aged 15 years 3 months and 24 days.
He suffered the most excruciating pain for the two first weeks of his illness. He lingered three weeks and four days,—disease, rheumatic fever and neuralgia.
His trust was firm in God to the last. He was baptized last July by Bro. Byington, and always bore a cheerful part in our prayer and conference meetings. We believe his spirit was acceptable in the sight of God. He was loved and esteemed by all who knew him. Bro. Loughborough preached his funeral sermon, Jan. 22, at 2 P. M. Words in 1 Pet. 1, 3. He spoke of the Christian's hope to the comfort of his aged mother, brothers and sisters. We have full confidence of meeting him in the resurrection morn if we are only faithful. May the Lord give us all sufficient grace. ELDRIDGE G. RUST.
DIED, at Mechanicville, Iowa, Jan. 28, 1867, Sarah B. Mitchell, wife of G. W. Mitchell, aged 52 years, 3 months and 9 days.
Sister Mitchell embraced the advent doctrine in 1843, and the Sabbath in 1852. The second coming of Christ and the glorious resurrection were consoling themes to her, especially in affliction. When suffering from severe pain, she would pray for relief; and when relief came, she would thank and praise God for his goodness. She was a kind and tender companion, and conscientiously tried to train up her children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. A short time before she died, she told her companion to tell the brethren and sisters she had been a faithful mortal, but that her work was done, and that she would come up in the first resurrection. She also wished him to bid them all farewell for her.
The funeral sermon was preached by the writer, at the house of the deceased, to a large and attentive congregation, from these consoling words: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Rev. xiv, 13.
While we were paying our last tribute of respect to our sister, our mind reverted back to our first meeting at Lisbon, which she attended, and in which she was triumphant in the Lord. At that meeting she told us to remember her dear children; who at the funeral manifested true filial affection for their kind mother. May they and her dear companion remember her Christian counsels to them, and so live out the truth, that they may unite with her in the glorious, immortal state. D. T. BOURDEAU.

The Publishing Association.

The Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association was incorporated in Battle Creek, Mich., May 3, 1861. Its object is to issue “periodicals, books, tracts, documents, and other publications, calculated to impart instruction on Bible truth, especially the fulfillment of prophecy, the commandments of God, and the teachings of Jesus Christ.” Its capital stock is raised by shares at $10 each; and every shareholder is entitled to one vote in all the deliberations of the Association, for every share that he or she may hold. All lovers of truth, who “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus,” are still invited to take shares in the Association, and have a voice in all its deliberations.

The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald

Is a twelve-page religious family paper, issued weekly by the S. D. A. Publishing Association, and devoted to an earnest investigation of all Bible questions. It is designed to be an exponent of momentous and solemn truths pertaining to the present time, some of which are set forth by no other periodical in the land. The fulfillment of prophecy, the second personal advent of the Saviour as an event now near at hand, immortality through Christ alone, a change of heart through the operation of the Holy Spirit, the observance of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, the divinity and mediatorial work of Christ, and the development of a holy character by obedience to the perfect and holy law of God, as embodied in the decalogue, are among its special themes. And while it will endeavor to present impartially both sides of all important questions, it has a definite theory to teach, and hence will not devote its space to an indiscriminate and aimless mass of conflicting sentiments and views.
Regular price, $2.50 per year, or $1.25 for a volume of 26 numbers. On trial for six months $1.00. No subscriptions taken for less than six months. To the worthy poor, free, by their reporting themselves and requesting its continuance, once in six months. The friends of the Review are invited to earnest and unceasing efforts to extend its circulation.

The Youth’s Instructor

Is a monthly sheet, published as above, and designed to be to the youth and children what the Review and Herald is to those of riper years. You who wish to see your children instructed in the great truths which so interest you, will here find a sheet in which these things are set forth in a plain and interesting manner, free from the popular fables and errors of the age. It should not only visit regularly every youth and child who professes to be a follower of Jesus, but should be taken and read in every Sabbath-keeping family. Don’t forget the children. See that they have the Instructor. Terms, 25 cts. per year in advance.

The Health Reformer.

This is the title of a monthly health journal, “devoted to an exposition of the laws of our being, and the application of those laws in the preservation of health and the treatment of disease.” It is an earnest advocate of the true philosophy of life, the only rational method of treating disease, and the best means of preserving health. Practical instructions will be given from month to month relative to water, air, light, food, sleep, rest, recreation, &c. Health, its recovery and preservation, is a subject of world-wide interest, whatever may be a person’s tenets in other respects; and to this the Reformer will be exclusively devoted. Edited by H. S. Lay, M. D., Managing Physician of the Western Health-Reform Institute. Terms $1.00 in advance for a volume of twelve numbers. Address Dr. H. S. Lay, Battle Creek, Mich.

The Sabbath Question

Is becoming a theme of wide-spread and absorbing interest. To those who wish to give the subject a thorough investigation, we recommend the History of the Sabbath. As a work setting forth a connected Bible view of the Sabbath question, its history since the Christian era, and the different steps by which the human institution of the first day of the week has usurped the place of the Bible institution of the seventh day, it is unsurpassed by any publication extant. Between two and three hundred quotations from history are given, to each of which is appended a full reference to the authority from which it is taken. It is replete with facts and arguments which challenge denial or refutation. Other works on this subject, from the penny tract to the largest size pamphlet, will be found noticed in our book list. There is no other Bible subject upon which a more extensive misunderstanding exists, than upon the Sabbath question. Circulate the books, and spread abroad the light on this subject.

The Second Advent.

The works upon this important subject to which we would call especial attention, are, The Prophecy of Daniel, The Sanctuary and 2300 Days, and The Three Messages of Rev. xiv. The first gives an exposition of the plain and thrilling prophecies of Daniel ii, vii, and viii, showing from the course of empire that the God of Heaven is about to set up his kingdom. The Sanctuary question is the great central subject of the plan of salvation, and yet there are but few, comparatively, who have any acquaintance with it. It gives a new interest to a great part of the Bible, leads to an intelligent view of the position and work of Christ as our great High Priest in Heaven, completely explains the past Advent movement, and shows clearly our position in prophecy and the world’s history. The three messages bring to view present duty, and future peril. All should read these books, and ponder well their teaching.
