Died at Lake Station, Ind., March 19, 1863, of diphtheria, Emma, daughter of Bro. and sister M. S. Kellogg, aged 4 years, 3 months, and 20 days. She was sick but four days.
The father writes that himself and wife, and two other children are seized with the same disease. When I was holding meetings there a few months since, this little child seemed very anxious to go to all the meetings. I learned that she was in the habit of going away by herself to pray. Her father said that her little prayer seemed to come right from the heart, and she would give the strictest attention when talking to her about the promised reward for obedient children. Says her father, "Three Sabbaths before her death she reproved a little girl at the meeting, saying, 'Mary, you ought to mind your mother.'" Her last verse for the Sabbath School was in Ps. cxix, 60: "I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments."

ISAAC SANBORN
By Isaac Sanborn
Died in Avon, Rock Co., Wis., March 26, Bro. J. M. Davis, aged 24 years, 8 months, and 26 days.
He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss. The church also feel that one of their best members is gone. It has been about two years since he embraced the truth. He was patient, and bore his sufferings without a murmur. The writer attended the funeral, and spoke to a large assembly from the following words: "Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." 2 Cor. i, 4.
"Dear brother, thou unconscious art, While mourners weep around. Thou waitest in thy grave to hear, The trumpet's joyful sound."

Report from Bro. Fuller.
By N. Fuller
I met with the brethren and sisters in Nile Settlement last Sabbath. The Lord met with us and poured out his Spirit upon us. Our hearts were melted together in love. Some arose and stated that they were sinners, and in a dreadful condition; wanted the church to pray for them. Our joy was manifested by our tears, which flowed freely from every eye. We tried to pray; and the Lord gave us the spirit of prayer. Bless his name! The cause is advancing rapidly in Allegany Co., since we organized, and accepted the gifts of the Spirit. O, I wish the remnant everywhere knew the value of those testimonies, which the Lord has been giving to the church. But the Lord could have said of us as of old, O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself. Organization and the strait testimony are the very things for those who wish to purify their souls by obeying the truth.
I attended the conference at Willing, Allegany Co., the second Sabbath in March. We had a good meeting. Two were baptized. Five joined the church. Several arose for prayers. At that meeting I met my only brother according to the flesh, who, after a year and a half in the national struggle, has returned, having lost both his arms; the right one at the shoulder, the left a little below the elbow. Oh, how painful to see our friends mangled in so distressing a manner! "Distress of nations with perplexity" is upon us; but it will soon be over.
I have been at home only three days in seven weeks. During this time I have attended nearly sixty meetings, and preached at most all of them. My lungs are troubling me, but I am not tired of laboring in this good cause.
Bro. White, can you and sister White make an appointment for Southern N. Y., or Pa., this spring if you go east? The churches are very anxious to have you come. We think you can do much good. O may the wounds that have been made by fighting against the order and work of God, be healed by taking hold of the work unitedly, and then the church become one, east, west, north and south. Let those that stand out look at their own spirituality, which is a swift witness against them.
N. FULLER.
Wellsville, N. Y.
For the Sake of the Cause.
We would call attention to the doings of the church at Battle Creek, published last week. The church deemed it necessary, for the good of the cause, that there should be an investigation of our business career connected with the cause, and a printed report made. If flying reports be true, we should be separated from the cause. If an open and critical investigation proves them false, a printed report in the hands of the friends of the cause with which we are connected, may, in some instances at least, paralyze the tongue of slander.
We urge all with whom we have dealt to report. If you are in the least degree dissatisfied with our dealings we entreat of you to make it known. Are you satisfied with our course? make it known. Have we refused means of any of you, or returned means? state the circumstances to Uriah Smith, chairman of the committee. Let the facts be known. Read the doings of the church in No. 18 again, and be in season. For the sake of the cause, have this matter settled.
