Earlier text: A Matter of ConscienceTo the T. and M. Members of Indiana.
By Wm. Covert
I WISH to say to the members of the tract and missionary Societies in Indiana that you are now organized, so that you can work successfully by using the means at your command. But it is useless to think of accomplishing anything in this cause without labor. There has been but little done in the missionary cause within this Conference, simply because the efforts have been wanting. I am satisfied that we have as good a field to labor in as can be found anywhere, and that the Lord is as willing to help the cause in Indiana as he is in New England, Michigan, or California. But you will find that missionaries should be well acquainted with the doctrines that they wish to promulgate if they would be successful in their work. I do not mean that they should become debaters, but all should be able clearly to teach the leading ideas of the message, and to give the reasons of our hope with meekness and fear. Without these essential qualifications, we have but little room to hope for success. If we possess them, properly seasoned with faith and energy, the Lord will certainly bless the enterprise. We are just now entering upon the best season of the year to accomplish something by getting our best works for the times before the people. Let every member take hold, realizing that the Lord is now in the field, encouraging and instructing the laborers, saying to those of a fearful heart, “Be Strong,” “Fear not;” to him that thinketh he standeth, “Take heed,” “Be not high minded, but fear.” To the rich, he is saying, “Trust not in uncertain riches,” “Sell that thou hast, and give to the poor.” To the poor, he has these cheering words: “Rich in faith,” “heirs of the kingdom.” You see none are slighted. All can labor in his vineyard. He expects something to be done by every one. Accordingly, when we hold our T. and M. meetings, we shall expect reports of labor from every member; and we do not wish any blank spaces in the reports. I believe each member can judiciously circulate two thousand pages of reading matter each quarter; that one hundred members can circulate eight hundred thousand pages annually. But we will have to lay broader plans of operation if we accomplish all the good that we might. I would be pleased to put “Life Incidents,” “U. S. in Prophecy,” and “The Discussion on the Constitutional Amendment,” in every library and reading room in the State, and keep a missionary stand in the Union Depot in Indianapolis. By taking hold of the work in this way, we could warn all of Indiana, and many more. If there is as much to this message as we think there is, it requires as much of an effort as is indicated by this article. If there is not as much, then there is just nothing at all, and we had better make the most out of this life that we can—“eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.” But, dear brethren, it is useless to talk of the possibility of our being deceived about the truthfulness of our positions. The deception is all on the other side of the question. We have the mighty truth of God for this last generation of mankind committed to our trust, and we will be held to an account for the way we use it. We are bidden to GO into the “highways and hedges, and compel them to come in,” that the Lord’s house may be filled. Luke 14:23. This message must go into the “highways” of the nations, and into the hedges (back woods) also. There is a little more room at the wedding table yet; a few more stars to sparkle in the crowns of some of God’s servants. Who are the wise servants that will win them? Sharpsville, Ind., Nov. 13, 1873. “Blessings Acknowledged.”
By H. A. St. John
THE article from Bro. Waggoner, under the above caption, in REVIEW of November 25, reminded me that I had similar reasons for being very grateful to God. I, too, had the privilege of attending the meetings of the General Conference, in its recent session. Perfect unity of action characterized all the meetings for business, although matters of eternal consequence were under consideration. Of how much importance are all the business meetings in connection with the cause of God under the last message of mercy. We are quite sure that the importance, sacredness, and magnitude, of this work in which we, as a people, are engaged, cannot be overestimated. Many, very many, identified as Seventh-day Adventists but dimly understand the message. As an individual, I see the sacredness and magnitude of the work of God under the third message as I never saw it before. The preaching was close and eminently practical, designed to move every one who desires to have any part in this glorious work to seek at once for justification by faith and peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ and a daily, living experience in the things of God. This we must obtain, brethren, individually, each for himself. For we are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, without this rich experience, and in great danger of being spewed out of the mouth of the Lord. Truly, this work is not to be done in a corner. With a certain sound and a loud voice this message will penetrate everywhere, and the earth be lightened with its glory. The Lord is in the third angel's message, brethren; do not doubt. Study the life of the blessed Jesus, and take him for your only model of imitation. In so doing, you may both save yourself, and others. It is my anxiety to work for Jesus while the day lasts. The Missionary Paper.
By James White
THE first number of this paper should be issued immediately, as it will contain matters of great importance to the tract and missionary work, which all the workers should have as soon as possible. We wait, however, for a list of names. We shall not start this sheet without a full list of names. Brethren, if you want the paper, you must respond immediately. And when you remit the price of the True Missionary, if you have not done so, send along one year's subscription for the Review, Reformer, and Instructor. J. W. Iowa Tract and Missionary Society Quarterly Meeting Notice
By Jacob Shively
The next quarterly meeting of the Iowa T. and M. Society, Dist. No. 6, will be held at Afton, Dec. 20, 21, 1873. Will Bro. Caldwell please meet with us? JACOB SHIVELY. The Secretary’s report of the standing of the Wisconsin Conference, just received, contains the following encouraging statement of the present condition of the cause in that State:— “It is gratifying to note that notwithstanding there have been but few churches raised up, and but few additions to the older churches, yet there is a marked improvement in the spiritual condition of our Conference. “Nearly all are coming up on the health reform, and the testimonies. The hearts of the people are softening in view of the great work before us, and the shortness of the time in which that work must be done. “The people respond liberally to the calls for means to carry on the good work. At a meeting recently held in this place (Monroe), nearly $500.00 were raised for the Delinquent Fund and Tract Society. Over $100.00 more were pledged in this district (two churches) than the entire delinquency of the Conference. One other district raised nearly $300.00. And so the good work goes on. “I feel happy to state that some of the causes which have weighed us down, as a Conference, are being removed. To God be all the praise.” “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.” Died, in Caloma, Marion Co., Iowa, Nov. 14, 1873, after an illness of about ten months, sister Nancy Parish, aged thirty-three years. She leaves a husband, three children, and a number of friends to mourn their loss, but not without hope. Remarks by the writer from Rev. 14:13, to a large and interested audience. J. H. MORRISON. Died, in Granville, Vermont, Nov. 12, 1873, of lung fever, sister Charlotte Amy aged seventy-one years. Sister Amy was one of the disappointed ones in 1844. She was one of the first in Vermont who embraced the Sabbath under the labors of Eld. Joseph Bates. She always had unshaken confidence in the third angel’s message. Funeral discourse by the writer from Matt. 19:27. D. T. EVANS. Died, in Alexander Valley, near Healdsburg, Sonoma Co., Cal., Nov. 7, 1873, after an illness of six days with brain and lung fever, our youngest child, Sarah Ada, aged one year, nine months, and twenty-five days. We deeply mourn the loss of our affectionate and loving child, but not as those who have no hope. “And if thus fair and lovely here,
Beneath death’s icy hand,
Oh! will it not be beauteous there,
’Mid the immortal band?”
WM. & E. I. HARMON. Died, near Victory, Vernon Co., Wis., Sept. 24, 1873, of spinal fever, Bertie, son of Thos. D. and Mary N. Waller, aged eight months and seventeen days. M. N. WALLER. Among the Scandinavians.
By W. B. H.
I ARRIVED there last Thursday, on my way to Sauk Center, and remained with Bro. Charles Lee over Sabbath and Sunday. He has, by the Lord’s help, done a good work there. Last Sabbath, seven souls were buried in baptism. There are now about thirty-three keeping the Sabbath, and they rejoice greatly in the truth. I could not understand their language, but I felt that the Lord’s Spirit was in their meetings. Love seemed to flow from heart to heart, and they did not forget the stranger within their gates. I was traveling, mostly on foot, to Sauk Center, about two hundred miles, to try to do something for the Master. Unknown to me, they raised means to help me on my way. I wish to thank them through the REVIEW, as the meeting had broken up before I knew anything about it. I feel very unworthy of so much kindness. May the Lord bless them a hundred-fold in this world, and in the world to come with eternal life. W. B. H. Litchfield, Minn., Oct. 26, 1873. Our Camp-Meeting.
By Jos. Clarke
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is.”
Heb. 10:25. We had a press of work on hand, and in addition to this, we were laden with worldly cares and responsibilities; but we left all, packed up, prepared tent, &c., and took up our march for Lexington, one hundred miles away. Some five teams from Bowling Green led the way; and we had a very delightful journey. We camped at night in our tents, ate our dinners in pleasant groves, and slept safely in the woods. We passed through the villages and cities on our route, a religious caravan; not on our route to Mecca, but to a pleasant grove, where were some of the most faithful of our people preparing the grounds, fitting up things for a temporary home. On the way, people were astonished to see us out on a religious enterprise. Some supposed it must be an excursion of pleasure, and in this they were not mistaken; for in addition to the feelings of pleasure and devotion inspired by the contemplation of God’s handiwork in the beautiful scenery, was the anticipated enjoyment of communion with saints and the blessed Master, who, it was expected, would attend the feast. The meeting surpassed all our anticipations. Kind, pious people zealously built a cotton city, a voluntary police was soon formed, and all went on profitably. The lukewarm church was faithfully and lovingly warned. Brn. Butler and Haskell have worked beyond their strength to inspire our people with the spirit of devotion and sacrifice. They accomplished much good here. Even the most hardened were moved to new resolution and feeling. Many hearts overflowed with holy love, and many will always remember this holy feast to the Lord. But the best and pleasantest meetings in this world must end in separation, and so with this. The time came for our meetings to close and for our little, temporary city to be removed. Sudden partings of friends took the place of religious devotions. The whistle of the locomotive rudely sounded the signal of departure, and soon our little companies were journeying homeward; not, however, with the feelings with which we came, for the meeting had sobered our senses, and worldly grandeur and delightful scenery were eclipsed by the near approach of the advent and the thrilling considerations which attend it. Jos. CLARKE. Testimony No. 23 and a Confession of Laodicean Lukewarmness
By A. Rasmussen
I have read Testimony No. 23 with care and great interest, and upon thorough self-examination find that I am poor, lukewarm, blind, and naked. I confess myself to be a poor Laodicean. I believe God has spoken again to his people in this important and solemn time, and it becomes all who profess to believe in the gift of prophecy, to profit thereby. My prayer is that I may lay its instructions to heart. By the help of God I am determined to cultivate humility, to die wholly to self and sin. I desire to come up to the work of God; to be in harmony with his truth and people. I want to share with my brethren in the trials by the way, as well as in the blessings. I wish to come up to the true figures on S. B. Brethren, I desire your prayers and counsel. May God bless the third angel’s message. May he bless our leaders, and give all confidence in those who have borne the burdens in the heat of the day, and with the help of the Lord have carried this work forward successfully till it has become a great work indeed. A. Rasmussen. OUR MASTER.
By J. G. Whittier
Immortal love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never-ebbing sea! Our outward lips confess the name
All other names above;
Love only knoweth whence it came,
And comprehendeth love. Blow, winds of God, awake and blow
The mists of earth away!
Shine out, O Light Divine, and show
How wide and far we stray! Hush every lip, close every book,
The strife of tongues forbear;
Why forward reach, or backward look,
For love that clasps like air? We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down:
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For him no depths can drown. In joy of inward peace, or sense
Of sorrow over sin.
He is his own best evidence,
His witness is within. No fable old, or mythic lore,
Nor dream of bards and seers,
No dead fact stranded on the shore
Of the oblivious years; But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he:
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee. The healing of his seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again. Through him the first fond prayers are said,
Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with his name. O Lord and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own thy sway, we hear thy call,
We test our lives by thine.
—J. G. Whittier. Sandyville, Iowa.
By J. H. Morrison
SINCE our meeting at Osceola, I have been at Sandyville holding a series of meetings. The circumstances seemed to demand a course of lectures, which I commenced over four weeks ago, and continued until the present, Nov. 24. There was some interest manifested on the part of the people to hear, and we hope many of them have a conscience sufficiently tender to obey. Five or six have already taken their stand for the Sabbath, and some of the youth of our people have made a start. We hope this is the beginning of better days for us in this place. May the Lord speed on his good work. J. H. Morrison. Nasonville, Wis.

For three weeks, have had meetings at Nasonville, partly among the Scandinavians, and partly among the Americans. Six of the Scandinavians expressed their purpose to keep all God’s commandments. Have also held some meetings at Maple Works. Coral City, Nov. 26, 1873. Report of Labor.

SEPTEMBER 15, we closed our labors in the tent at Greenup, to prepare for the coming camp-meeting to be held Oct. 1-6. This meeting did not accomplish all that we had hoped; yet we have seen some fruit, for which we are thankful. Since the camp-meeting, I have held between thirty and forty meetings, and obtained some subscribers for the paper. Between twenty and thirty have signed the covenant at Greenup. A leader has been appointed, and Sabbath-school organized. Meeting every Sabbath at 11 A. M. Preaching every Sabbath and first-day in each month at usual hours. C. H. BLISS.

Voted, That the next general quarterly meeting be held at Oakland the second Sabbath and Sunday in February, 1874. The Testimonies.
By Hannah Clough
I have been reading the Testimonies of late, commencing with the first one, and I find much in them that I would take right home to myself. I had read them before, and believed them, as I thought, but had failed to make them my daily study. I hope to give them more attention in the future, and try more fully to profit by those good admonitions which the Lord in much mercy is giving to his people in these last days. And now I would ask the prayers of those who find access to the mercy-seat. I would also ask the forgiveness of my brethren and sisters wherein they have seen wrongs in me. I believe we are living in solemn times. It is also a solemn thought that we, as a people, comprise the Laodicean church. But, God be praised! some are having their eyes anointed with the eye-salve. Oh! let us not rest until we fully open the door to the blessed Saviour, that he may come in and sup with us and we with him. An Acknowledgment.
By S. B. Whitney
While reading Testimony No. 23, Bro. White’s address, and the remarks of other brethren in relation to the matter contained in them, I have felt very greatly reproved and strongly impressed with a conviction of my deceived condition and dangerous position as presented by the Laodicean message; and I wish, in this manner, to acknowledge that I have failed to heed the light given us as a people, and to myself, as an individual, bearing upon my special faults; and therefore my efficiency as a minister has been very greatly injured, and my own experience has suffered in proportion. I am not conscious of a decided rebellion in my heart against the reproofs given, but rather, am thankful that God is so long-suffering and gracious; but I am sure I am not aware of the extent of the deception upon my mind, and I greatly fear there may be danger of a rebellious spirit being developed in me by the straight testimony that may be necessary to discover to myself my real condition. But I am endeavoring to seek God more earnestly, and to be more faithful in the performance of my duties; and hope to make the very important discovery by the aid of the Spirit of God and the light already given. It is with shame and deep regret that I make these acknowledgments, and I desire to so repent and overcome that a repetition of them shall not be necessary. A WANDERING, backsliding, double heart can never enjoy peace. To possess the blessings of peace, the mind must be stayed upon God. This is the same as abiding in Christ, being steadfast in the faith, rooted and grounded in love. This childlike reliance on our Heavenly Father tranquilizes the mind in seasons of darkness, perplexity, trial, and temptation. That soul is the most happy which can most cheerfully acquiesce in the appointments of infinite wisdom. Murmuring and repining grieve the Holy Spirit. Resignation and contentment produce serenity and sweetness of mind. While cultivating these important duties, which are brought into daily exercise by the very nature of Christian experience, the mind is kept in a heavenly frame, holiness is promoted, and God, the author of all good, is glorified. “Put the ‘Spiles’ Under.”
By Mrs. J. Lovejoy
THE REVIEW of Sept. 9, 1873, contains an article under the above heading, showing that the revivals in the churches have not produced reformations. The reason is obvious. The profession of the present type of religion is fashionable. It does not require any renunciation of earthly vanity or amusements. It says there is no harm in card playing, or dancing, or billiards, or putting on of gold, or costly apparel. Even the pulpit gives a certain sound in that direction, fulfilling prophecy of the last days, viz., “The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost.” Eze. 34: 4. There is no cross to take up, no burden to bear; but we will live as we list, and do as we please; for our preachers tell us “we have nothing to do.” Jesus has done all for us, now we can go on enjoying the world to any extent; for “did not God place us here, and give us these things for this very purpose?” Oh! strong delusion of Satan to turn away the heart from works of righteousness, which God has commanded that we should do. I think the above characteristics of the churches tell the reason plainly why “there is no depth” to the revivals. “Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” The writer of the article under consideration says something is wrong. I think it is easy to see what it is. God’s word sheds all needed light on all questions of like import; also what will become of their building if repairs are neglected. It will be sunk like a great millstone with mystic Babylon, to which it belongs. “Thus saith the Lord, keep ye judgment, and do justice; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it, that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it.” Woodland, Cal.
By W. E. Wood
All the believers in this place are still of good courage. We are thankful for the light of present truth, and pray daily that we may walk in the light. Since our good camp-meeting, we have made new resolutions to be better Christians than ever before. Our Sabbath-school and prayer-meetings are interesting, and when we have preaching, we enjoy it the more, as it comes seldom, feeling thankful that we have it as often as we do; for there are others of like faith who are not blessed with the privilege so frequently as we. Oh! this blessed truth! how precious to the believing soul! May it still sweep on and bring all the honest in heart out of darkness to light, and find us ready to meet our blessed Lord when he comes.
