Fell asleep in Jesus, June 1st, 1858, Bro. John Pierce of Andover, Vt., in the 63d year of his age. He suffered intensely at times during his last illness, which was borne with patience and christian meekness, sustained by the blessed hope of the gospel. The poor have lost a friend, and the scattered saints in that vicinity, who deeply feel their loss, a father in Israel.
His faith in the present truth was strong, attended with corresponding works, which will soon be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus. Hence the sorrowing ones sorrow not as those that have no hope; yet we feel deeply for them, while we fervently pray that their present afflictions may work for them a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
After the funeral services at his late place of residence, we followed him to his quiet resting place by the side of his companion, to wait a little while the return of our glorious king to unlock the dark prison house of the tomb, break off the icy bands of death from the sleeping ones, and bring them forth to join those that are alive to swell the triumphant song of victory, and receive the great gift of eternal life.

Note from Bro. Ingraham.
By Wm. S. Ingraham
DEAR BRO. SMITH: I am still in Ulysses, and shall remain here for the present. I am sorry to disappoint the brethren West, but cannot avoid it. I made preparations to go, and started. But the long rain came on, the roads were exceeding bad, and when the storm abated my family was taken sick, and our way has been completely hedged up.
Pennsylvania is a good field of labor. Some few have of late received the truth. It is my prayer that the efforts put forth to advance the truths of the Third Angel may be abundantly blessed this season.
WM. S. INGRAHAM.
P. S. A word in relation to a note from Bro. Edson in the Review respecting the loss of my horse, may be just, at this time. Those that have sent me means to help make up this loss have been answered by letter. But that the church may know how much I have received, I thought a statement of it in the Review would not be out of place. I have received about thirty dollars, for which I feel very thankful.
W. S. I.
TENT MEETING.
PROVIDENCE permitting, there will be a Tent-meeting held at Lisbon, Linn Co., Iowa, to commence about the 25th of June, and hold a week or more.

Michigan Tent.
By James White
Bro. M. E. Cornell writes from Orion, Oak Co., Mich., as follows:
"Bro. White: We pitched the tent yesterday for the first. Tho weather would not permit before. Bro. Lawrence is here. We can hardly move this morning, because of hard labor yesterday. We found the tent so rotten that it was difficult to get it up at all. It is black with mildew, and the top is full of holes.
"We had calculated to go to Lapeer, Owasso, St. Johns, &c., but it is of no use to move with this, for it will not hold together. My opinion is that we should have a new tent, or cease tent operations in this State. I suppose we could do something holding grove-meetings; but with a good thick tent cloth we could have meetings all weathers.
"Please inform us of your decision, at Orion, Oakland Co., Mich., if you answer immediately. We shall be in suspense till we hear from you. What is best to do? Bro. Lawrence is free for the entire season. He does not intend to go home even to work in harvest. Pray for us. In haste. M. E. Cornell."
Brethren in Michigan, What shall be done? A good new tent will cost about $200, and there are no funds on hand, and the tent company owe me about $50. Brethren, you who have the means either in cash, horses, oxen, cows, sheep, or in lands, What shall be done? I will tell you what I will do. When you send the cash, or pledges from responsible persons, I will go to Rochester, N. Y., or somewhere else, and buy you a tent. Let me hear from you immediately. The King's business requires haste. James White.
The Great Controversy
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY.—This is the title of a work now in the press, written by Mrs. White. It is a sketch of her views of the great controversy between Christ and his angels, and the Devil and his angels, from the fall of Satan until the controversy shall close at the end of the 1000 years of Rev. xx. by the destruction of sin and sinners out of the universe of God. It will contain between two and three hundred pages. Price, neatly bound in muslin, 50 cents.
Supplement to Hymn Book
By Editor
Supplement to Hymn Book.—Press of other work has hindered the issue of the Supplement. It will, however, be out soon. It will contain more than thirty pieces of music, and many choice hymns. Price 25 cents.
The Third Angel's Message is evidently a warning message, and applies to our time. See Rev. xiv. 9. "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God," &c.
How dreadful, how terrible, will be the fulfillment of this sentence, which will not even be the full and final cup of the sinner and the ungodly; yet the first part of the threatened wrath of a long-suffering, offended God, when the day of grace is past, will be more than unholy man can endure, for they will all be cut down by the seven last plagues, and be dung upon the ground.
At the giving of the law, even Moses, who must have been a man of stern resolution, and admirable firmness, said, "I exceedingly fear and quake." What will be our condition when "our God shall come," (to vindicate his down-trodden law,) when his thundering voice shall be heard, for "he shall not keep silence," when "a fire shall devour before him," and when "it shall be very tempestuous round about him?"
As it is evident from the Scriptures of truth that the 2300 days (years) of Dan. viii, 14 are fulfilled, and terminated in 1844, so it is also clear that we are in the judgment period brought to view in Rev. xiv, 7, and corresponds, doubtless, with what is spoken by the prophet Malachi, [chap. iii, 18.] "Then (when? when he will come near to us in judgment) shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."
The very work that is now going forward throughout the length and breadth of the land, ought to inspire an earnest inquiry in every mind, What means all this strange work? The sifting has commenced, it will be consummated in our days. J. Dorcas.
