Sow the Seed.
A MAN in St. Augustine, Fla., sends a dollar for the REVIEW six months, and adds the following:—
“The idea of sending for your paper was first suggested by the finding of an old copy in our sail boat, the paper being used by one of a fishing party to wrap his lunch in. ‘Cast thy bread upon the waters, and it shall be found after many days.’” C. W. S.
Read It.
By C. W. S.
READ our book list. We give this week a list of books to be had at this Office. These books have been selected with a great deal of care, and the matter which they contain is instructive, full of interest, and of a high, moral tone. Provide yourselves and your children with good reading, something that will expand the mind, elevate the thoughts, and interest the reader. The holidays are coming—Christmas presents will be expected by the children. Look over the list and send in your orders.

Dedication at Rome, N. Y.
By Dudley Marvin Canright; B. L. Whitney
We now have our meeting-house at Rome nearly done, so that we shall be ready to dedicate it Dec. 9 and 10, instead of Dec. 2 and 3, as stated last week. We hope to make this an occasion of great interest, not only to the friends in Rome, but to all those of our people who may attend from the surrounding churches. As many of our people in all parts of the State have taken an interest in this enterprise, we now invite them to meet with us on this occasion. We have numerous friends in Rome who will gladly entertain over Sabbath and Sunday all who may come. Ample provision will be made for all. Let none stay away thinking that they will be a burden. We invite a general turnout of all the church from Adams Center, Mannsville, Oswego, Roosevelt, Vermillion, West Monroe, Kirkville, Brookfield, and Litchfield.
We also invite our S. D. Baptist friends from Verona and elsewhere to meet with us, especially on the Sabbath. We hope that Bro. C. M. Lewis will attend.
As it will be cold weather, let our people bring plenty of robes and quilts. We hope that a special effort will be made by all to come. Bring your children and unconverted friends.
Meetings will begin Friday evening at six o'clock, and Sabbath morning at nine. The dedication sermon will be on Sunday morning.
The State quarterly meeting of the T. and M. Society will be held at this meeting. There must be a special effort on the part of all the directors to attend. Here we shall plan our winter's work. We want to know just how the cause stands in all parts of the State, so we may know where to begin work. Let all who wish our help write to us immediately at Rome.
D. M. CANRIGHT,
B. L. WHITNEY.
