THE BOOK FUND.
By Roswell F. Cottrell
I WISH to express my hearty approval of the effort now being made to put Spiritual Gifts, &c. into the hands of those who would read and be profited by them. And I would recommend to our brethren and sisters to engage in this work with earnest zeal, believing that much good will be the result. All those who are able to buy these works, should have a full set in their houses, and have them there for use, and not to lie idle; and those who are not able to buy them, and such as would candidly read, though not sufficiently established in the truth, to realize their importance, and value, should be aided by those, who know the truth and have some appreciation of the importance of spreading it among the people.
If we love our fellow men who have not the light of present truth which we enjoy, if we would engage in the work of preparing the remnant of the people of the Lord for translation, and if we would follow our Saviour by imitating his example of labor and sacrifice for the good of others, here is an opportunity to do so, with the prospect of realizing the fruit of our labors of love in the coming kingdom of God.
Let the fund for this object be increased, till those who have the charge of the Office of publication, and those who have led out in this good work, shall say, “The people bring much more than enough” for this branch of the work, and advise to turn your liberalities into another department of the Lord’s service. There is work for all in the cause of the Lord, and those who, with the spirit of unfeigned consecration, invest means in this cause, will be laying in store a good foundation against the time to come, and transferring their treasure to that kingdom that will have no end, where they will receive more than compound interest on all their investments in this best of all enterprises.
R. F. COTTRELL.
Answers to Objections Against the Visions
We have devoted the past three weeks to revising our Answers to Objections against the Visions, for publication in pamphlet form, according to the instruction of last Conference. Bro. Waggoner has during this time, taken charge of the Review, and left us free for this work. The manuscript is now ready for the printer, and we design to have the books ready by Conference.
Conference Week
Remember Conference week, commencing May 12. Let those who design to come, seek a preparation of heart for the important meetings. And those who cannot come, we ask to remember the cause in their prayers.
Manuscript
MANUSCRIPT for Review from Bro. Haskell, Cottrell, Whitney, Matteson, Arnold, Santee, Clarke, and Saunders, is gratefully acknowledged.
Erratum
ERRATUM.—In Review, No. 15, p. 286, in the account of Sr. Hannah More's death, her words, “believe Thou comest,” should read, “believe them correct.”

TESTIMONY to the Church, No. 14 will be ready in a few days. The friends should order it immediately in order to receive it and read it, and have time to respond to important matters pertaining to the cause before General Conference. Price postpaid, 15 cents.

Improving.
By James White
Bro. King has just left us for his home, having recovered so far that we ventured to let him go. Bro. Wilson is also improving. Both these brethren were out to our church meeting this forenoon, Sunday, March 30.
A good work is going on in the church here. Pointed testimonies from Mrs. W., are received. The subject dwelt upon in our meeting yesterday, was the duty to the homeless, and those cast out for the faith.
All feel deeply the death of Sr. Hannah More.
James White.
Note from Bro. Fuller.
By N. Fuller
We had one of the best meetings at Nile Settlement last Sabbath I have enjoyed in that place for years. Bro. John Lindsey's daughter took up the cross for the first time, and resolved to make sure work for Heaven.

Monthly Meeting at Athens, Me.
By J. B. Goodrich
This meeting was held with the church at Fellows Mills, the 14th and 15th of March; on the account of bad traveling, there were but few out. The prayer and social meetings at first were not very free, but the interest kept increasing, and Sunday morning at 9 o’clock, the Lord met with us of a truth. Some of the brethren and sisters remarked that they thought the meeting had been a great blessing to them; but there is not that willingness with some to come up, and take their stand upon the whole truth, that there should be. If we believe that the third angel’s message is of God, and the last message that is to be given to the world before Jesus comes, why not come up, and take hold of the work in earnest, and take our stand upon the whole truth? I have the utmost confidence in the message, and can thank the Lord that he ever sent his servants to Maine, to show us the light; and I can only regret that I have been so slow to move out on present truth.
J. B. Goodrich.

By L. L. HOWARD
From New Vineyard, Me.
Dear Bro. Smith: To-day closes our meetings in this place for the present. They have not resulted in so much good as we hoped. They began with a good interest and large attendance, but stormy weather and bad going coming on, have prevented many from attending, and thus have injured the interest of our meeting. Some half a dozen are keeping the Sabbath; many say they are convinced of the truth, and there are many in this region thinking deeply on this subject. But the going continues so bad that we think it best to discontinue our meetings for the present; and one of us will visit them again in a short time. In the meantime, we design to visit the churches in this part of Maine, now for a few weeks to come, and may the Lord go with us. Let us, my brethren, come up to the help of the Lord.

KEEP COOL.
By R. F. Cottrell
THERE would be less of trial and contention, if all would avoid inflaming their passions and getting into a state of nervous excitement, in which state many things are said without due consideration, and evils multiplied ten fold. The best way is to put the best construction possible on whatever may seem wrong in others, and if wrongfully accused, to labor carefully to remove false impressions; but by all means avoid getting heated and making trouble that need not exist. Take time and keep cool. R. F. COTTRELL.
