By D. T. Bourdeau

Kentucky.

Since reporting last, my time has been spent in writing, confirming the believers in the truth, and preparing to labor where the Lord may direct, and we have all realized that the Lord is gracious and willing to help. Praise his name!

Last Sabbath was a precious day to us as we met at Bro. Burr's (Locust Grove), where we have stopped a number of weeks. Spoke on the sacrificing part of religion; and the few present appeared very willing to act their part in showing gratitude for the truth. We think they will not be behind in responding to the sacrifice of the brethren North in bringing them the truth. They were inveterate users of tobacco, tea, coffee, and swine's flesh, but have voluntarily and heroically dropped these articles.

All took some part in our last meeting, even the little children. It was a sweet season. God's free Spirit was in their midst. We had long desired to see this breaking down. May the work prove permanent. I believe these friends are taking hold of God that they may stand whether they have much ministerial labor or little.

If consecration is needed in one place more than in another, it is in the South. Family prayer is almost wholly neglected. It is a rare thing for laymen to take part in social meetings. But from what we have seen, we firmly believe that, with the love of God in the heart and the blessing of God's Spirit, these and other difficulties will vanish away like snow before a warm April sun. Oh! for a more thorough consecration to God! Oh! for a thorough victory over pride, selfishness, and love of approbation! Oh! for a baptism into the Spirit and love of Christ, and a revival of apostolic times, that the work of God may be cut short in righteousness! Wherever my lot may be cast, I am resolved to walk more closely with God.

THE RESTITUTION (Acts 3:21).

—“It is the restitution of all things to their rightful owners; the kingdom shall be the Lord’s. The earth possessed by the Son of God and righteous men, will no more be cursed by the usurpation of Satan, or the reign of death and destruction. The heavens will shine with resplendent glory—no more obscured by the dark cloud of God’s anger. The thunders of God’s law on Sinai against sin will never reverberate through the wide expanse of the new heavens, and man will never more hide himself from the presence of his Maker, or tremble at the footsteps of the Almighty; for ‘love is the fulfilling of the law,’ and perfect love casts out all fear. Therefore we love his appearing, and look for his coming in like manner as the men of Galilee saw him go into heaven (Acts 1:11).”

THE FIRE BY THE SEA.

By L. D. Bantie

[The following exquisite verses are entitled “The Fire by the Sea.” They are from the gifted pen of Alice Cary; and the thoughts of my heart while reading this sweet rendering of the 21st of John, was, “She being dead yet speaketh.” How many of the readers of the REVIEW will feel their hearts stirred while reading this pen-picture of a scene that happened long ago on the sea-shore of Galilee? L. D. BANTIE.]

There were seven fishers with nets in their hands, And they walked and talked by the sea-side sands? Yet sweet as the sweet dew-fall The words they spake, though they spake so low, Across the long, dim centuries flow, And we know them, one and all— Aye! know them and love them all.

Seven sad men in the days of old, And one was gentle, and one was bold, And they walked with downcast eyes; The bold was Peter, the gentle was John, And they all were sad, for the Lord was gone, And they knew not if he would rise— Knew not if the dead would rise.

The live-long night, till the moon went out, In the drowning waters they beat about: Beat slow through the fogs their way; And the sails dropped down with wringing wet, And no man drew but an empty net; And now ’twas the break of the day— The great, glad break of the day.

“Cast your nets on the other side—” (’Twas Jesus speaking across the tide)— And they cast and were dragging hard; But that disciple whom Jesus loved Cried straightway out, for his heart was moved; “It is our risen Lord— Our Master, and our Lord.”

Then Simon, girding his fisher’s coat, Went over the nets and out of the boat— Aye! first of them all was he; Repenting sore the dismal past, He feared no longer his heart to cast Like an anchor into the sea— Down deep in the hungry sea.

And the others, through the mists so dim, In a little ship came after him, Dragging their nets through the tide; And when they had gotten close to the land They saw a fire of coals in the sand, And, with arms of love so wide, Jesus, the crucified!

’Tis long, and long, and long ago, Since the rosy lights began to flow O’er the hills of Galilee; And with eager eyes and lifted hands The seven fishers saw on the sands The fire of coals by the sea— On the wet, wild sands by the sea.

’Tis long ago, yet faith in our souls Is kindled just by that fire of coals That streamed o’er the mists of the sea; Where Peter, girding his fisher’s coat, Went over the net and out of the boat, To answer, “Lov’st thou me?” Thrice over, “Lov’st thou me?”

The Bible Talks to You.

By Spurgeon

THE Holy Scripture is very familiar: “When thou wakest it shall talk with thee.”

To talk signifies fellowship, communion, familiarity. It does not say “It shall preach to thee.” Many persons have a high esteem of the book, but they look upon it as though it was some very elevated teacher, speaking to them from a lofty tribunal, while they stand far below. I will not altogether condemn that reverence, but it were far better, if they would understand the familiarity of God’s word; it does not so much preach to us as talk to us.

It is not “when thou awakest it shall lecture thee;” or, “it shall scold thee;” no, no, “it shall talk with thee.” We sit at its feet, or, rather, at the feet of Jesus, in the world, and it comes down to us; it is familiar with us, “as a man talketh to his friend.”

And here let me remind you of the delightful familiarity of Scripture in this respect, that it speaks the language of men.—Spurgeon.

The Army of Idlers.

Some have estimated that there are one hundred thousand men in the city of New York who absolutely do nothing for their own support. These are in addition to thieves and other classes who live by their “wits” without pursuing any honest calling. They come under the comprehensible class termed “loafers.” Only think what an army these men would make, and what results they might accomplish, if they would go to work. Why, there is physical ability here going to waste, which, if it were employed, would be sufficient to build five hundred miles of railroad in a year; or, if it were directed to agriculture, might supply food enough for the city of New York; or in the department of military affairs could conquer Mexico.

It is scarcely probable that any other community in the United States has so large a share of totally useless population. They would be sufficient to convert the whole State of Kansas into a garden within three months—if they were not too lazy—and might “drive the wolf” from the doors of half the humble homes in the nation, though, as they now are, their presence might be deemed a worse visitation than the gaunt wolf itself.

Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, May 8, 1872, near Riceland, Freeborn Co., Minn., of small-pox, Emma Peterson, only daughter of Bro. James and sister Margaret Peterson, aged five years, seven months, and twenty-one days. JOHN F. HANSON.

DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., May 13, 1872, of consumption of the bowels, Henry Lyon, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. Bro. Lyon was born in the State of New York, in 1796. From New York, he removed to Michigan, and was among the very first to commence the observance of the Bible Sabbath when the doctrine was introduced into this State twenty years ago. He soon removed to Battle Creek, and when the Office was located here, served, for a time, as one of the Publishing Committee of the REVIEW. From the time of his connecting himself with this cause, he took an active interest in all the moves made to forward the work. Liberal when the cause owed its very existence to the liberality of its few friends, faithful and earnest in the discharge of his Christian duties, we believe he has made life a success in the true sense of the term, by securing a hope against the time to come. Funeral discourse by Eld. J. N. Andrews to a large and sympathizing congregation, May 15.

DIED, in Constantia, N. Y., April 28, 1872, Bro. Harvey W. Hitchcock, aged sixty-four years. Bro. H. became interested in the service of Christ in early life. About twelve years since, he became interested in the third angel's message. The Sabbath to him was a delight. For the last few months of his life he manifested an increasing interest in, and a love for, the truth. He leaves a companion and three children to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not without hope. Discourse at the funeral by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. F. WHEELER.

Watch, Christian, Watch and Pray

Chase slumber from thine eyes; Chase doubting from thy breast; Thine is the promised prize Of Heaven's eternal rest; Watch, Christian, watch and pray; Thy Saviour watched for thee Till from his brow there poured Great drops of agony.

Cho.—Oh! watch and pray, &c.

Take Jesus for thy trust; Watch while the foe is near; Gird well the armor on, Watch till thy Lord appear. Now when thy sun is up— Make thou no more delay— In this accepted time, Watch, Christian, watch and pray!

Cho.—Oh! watch and pray, &c.

Illinois Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held three miles north of Aledo, Mercer Co., Ill., in Sugar Grove, on the premises of Mr. Reed, May 30 to June 4.

This place is easy of access, being situated on a branch of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, between Galva and New Boston. Those coming from the east on the C. B. and Q. R. R. will change cars at Galva; those coming on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific R. R. will change at the junction west of Wyanett, and at Galva. Those coming from the north, can take the Western Union R. R. to Rock Island, then the Rockford Rock Island and St. Louis road to Alpha, thence the C. B. and Q. R. R. to Aledo, or they can come down the Mississippi to New Boston, thence by R. R. eleven miles to Aledo. Those coming from the South on the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis R. R. will change at Alpha, or can come by the river to New Boston, thence to Aledo. There will be teams to carry all from the cars to the camp-ground.

We are very anxious that the friends of the cause within the limits of the Conference attend. There will be a missionary and tract society organized for the Illinois Conference, at this meeting. Let there be a general rally from every part of the State.

It will be a great pleasure to us to have all our brethren from Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, or elsewhere, that can meet with us do so.

Let those that come bring tents. Every family if possible, should have one, especially brethren that are able should have them, to accommodate themselves with their families, and as many of their friends and neighbors as they can induce to come to the meeting. Bring empty bed-ticks to be filled with straw, and plenty of bedding. Let none stay away, however, because they cannot bring a tent, for provision will be made for such.

Provisions, and feed for teams, will be furnished at reasonable rates on the ground. There will be a good assortment of our publications on hand. Come prepared to take bundles of light home with you in the form of books, pamphlets, and tracts, to scatter among your friends and neighbors when you return. But above all, come with “a broken and contrite heart” to seek God.

In behalf of the Conference, we extend an urgent invitation to Bro. and sister White to favor us with their presence at this meeting if at all consistent, as we need the benefit of their labors very much, being deprived of it in this Conference last year. Seth Newton, Ill. John H. Bennet, Conf. R. F. Andrews, Com.

Camp-Meeting in Iowa.

Providence permitting, the Iowa Camp-meeting will be held two miles north of Knoxville, Marion Co., Iowa, June 6–11.

New and Important Work.

By James White

THE United States in the Light of Prophecy; or an Exposition of Revelation 13:11–17. By Uriah Smith.

The above is the title of a new work of 160 pages in which the writer has, in a lucid and able manner, brought out the facts relative to the two-horned beast, the image and mark of the beast, more fully than has been previously done in any of our works. One has only to read the book to see and feel its importance at this time. It should have a wide circulation. Price, post-paid, bound 40 cents, paper cover 20 cents. JAMES WHITE.

A Worthy Book.

By James White

POEMS, by Mrs. Rebekah Smith, with a sketch of the life and experience of her daughter, Annie R. Smith, to which is added some of Annie's poems not found in the work, entitled, Home Here and Home in Heaven; also some by her brother, Uriah Smith.

The worthy widowed mother, Mrs. Rebekah Smith, at the age of seventy-seven, publishes and offers to the public this valuable little work. Her connection with the cause of present truth from the very first, the fact that her only daughter, Annie R. Smith, was connected with the REVIEW Office as early as 1851 and spent her last hours of activity and strength in the cause, and especially the merit of the book itself, commends this little work to the attention of the readers of the REVIEW AND HERALD.

Address J. S. Smith, West Wilton, N. H., or REVIEW & HERALD, Battle Creek, Mich. It will be for sale at all our camp-meetings. Price, post-paid, 50 cents. JAMES WHITE.
