Who is sufficient for these things?
By James White
It is not an uncommon occurrence for persons who have but just embraced the present truth, to write to this Office, stating their intentions to leave all and go out and proclaim the message. But these persons are certainly ignorant of the work they think to engage in, and also, of the wiles of the Devil. With pain we have witnessed during the last ten years; the shipwreck of the faith of many who have been thus pushed out by Satan.
We solemnly believe there are many among us who are living in the neglect of duty; men of experience, (and who would have a deep experience, if they would break away from the world, and obey God,) and sound judgment in the things of God, and who know much of human nature; men who can deal with mind, and give to each his portion in due season. O when will these shake off the shackles that bind them, and put on the armor of light; and enter the battle field? God grant that it may be soon.
But while these are halting, Satan stands by, and in the ears of those newly come to the faith, and who, in all probability, will need much humility and prayer, and much help from others, he is continually whispering, "You must preach, you must preach." He makes them believe they can help others, while, perhaps, they themselves will need to be helped by their brethren, or certainly fall. Listening to the voice of Satan, these poor souls become confused, and in some trial soon make shipwreck of faith. We venture a few suggestions as follows:—
1. A man should learn the truth well before he thinks of teaching it to others.
2. He should search the New Testament, and see if in him are the qualifications therein named, before receiving impressions of duty to preach.
3. He should consult with brethren of experience in the truth, and the trials of the work, and bear in mind that if the Great Head of the church is really moving him out to the work of rescuing souls from ruin, the body will feel on the subject.
4. These are perilous times, and the Third Message is one of solemn responsibilities, and awful consequences. Many are our adversaries, but there is an open door for the truth. Let those who are really called of God to proclaim the message, go out, if possible with one of experience, preach and learn the ways of the Lord more perfectly. We make these suggestions without premeditation, and shall be happy to hear from those who have thought much on the subject. J. W.
APPOINTMENTS.
By James White
GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Providence permitting, there will be a General Conference at Battle Creek, Mich., to commence June 3d, at 2 o'clock P. M., and hold over Sabbath, First-day and Second-day. A general invitation is extended to all, east, west, north and south, to attend this gathering of the people of God.
It is proper however here to suggest, that as this will probably be a very large gathering, most of those who attend this meeting should come prepared to nearly take care of themselves. It will be impossible to supply all with beds, or all their horses with stable room. Our sleeping-rooms will be given up to females to be made as comfortable as possible, in camp-meeting style. The brethren will have the next best chance in our barns, in the Tent, or on unoccupied floors in our houses. Blankets and Buffalo-robes will be in good demand. Those who will need them, must bring them.
It will be seen that in such a crowd, with such accommodations, will be no place for very feeble persons, for children, or for those who wish to come to gratify an idle curiosity. We want to see at this feast of tabernacles all the friends of the cause, who ardently desire its prosperity, and are ready to act upon the best plans for its advancement.
Let it also be understood that the brethren of the Battle Creek church are mostly day laborers and preachers, and that it is by close economy and industry that they obtain their daily bread. Each should provide grain for his own team, and those who possibly can, should bring a chest or trunk of provisions for themselves and others.
In behalf of the church, James White.
Conferences in Ohio.
There will be a conference held in Gilboa, Putnam Co., Ohio, commencing on the evening of Friday, May 6th, for the purpose of considering the ways and means of advancing present truth in Ohio during the coming summer. The brethren and sisters throughout the State are cordially invited to attend, to cheer the people of God with their presence, and glorify his holy name by their unanimity of sentiment, and concentrated effort in advancing his cause. Come up, brethren, from east and west, from south and north, and let the interest taken in the advance of truth and the welfare of souls, be fairly represented. We have a commodious house of worship, and many brethren, with a willing and abundantly able heavenly Father, to see to and provide for all wants. Come one, come all; our hospitality is extended to all; and we hope either to see, or hear from, all.
Brn. Holt and Cornell are expected to be present; and all other messengers are invited who may find it convenient to attend.
In behalf of the church at Gilboa.
T. J. Butler.
There will also be a Conference at Republic, Seneca Co., Ohio, to commence May 13th, in the evening, and hold over Sabbath and First-day.
As I have returned to Michigan, Bro. Waggoner decides to visit Ohio, and attend the Conferences at Gilboa and Republic.
M. E. Cornell.
Conference in Iowa.
There will be a conference in Iowa City, commencing June 10th at 4 p. m., and holding over Sabbath and First-day, for the purpose (1) of having the brethren of the different parts of this State and Mo. get acquainted with each other and worship together, (2) To consider what would be the best plan of labor in Iowa and Missouri, the approaching tent season. (3) To see if we can fall upon any plan to procure a home for Bro. Hull, so that he can be freed from his present embarrassments. He wants to be the Lord's freeman, but he cannot be under present circumstances.
Brethren, shall we see a representation from different parts of this State and Mo.? We do not expect all the brethren from Mo., Decatur City, Alton, Highland, Osceola, or White Breast, but we shall be disappointed if we do not see some from these places. Come in the Spirit of the Lord, praying the Lord to give us a good time, and we shall not be disappointed.

A. S. Hutchins. The translation of Isa. lxv, 20 for which you inquire is probably that of Paganini, found in Review No. 5, Vol. viii, as follows: "There shall be no more carried out thence to burial an infant of days, or a youth or an old man that hath not filled his days; for the man of a hundred years shall be as a youth."
