On reading Bro. White's cause of discouragement in the Good Samaritan, No. 6, I felt like saying that I do most heartily sympathize with him and his dear companion in the conflicting and sore trials which they have been called to bear.
Since my first acquaintance with them in the early part of 1845, I have known something of their heavy and responsible burdens. The candid, free, and honest course which they have pursued in bearing forward this last great truth of God with all its responsibilities, reflects a degree of honor on their moral and christian characters which time cannot easily efface. For one, I highly respect them for their work's sake, and love them as christians for Christ's sake. The remnant people of God are deeply indebted to them for their labors of love, and I do hope they, with myself, and mine will in all coming time most cheerfully engage to share with them in all the responsibilities and trials which we as a people may be called to meet. O Lord, encourage and stay up the hands of Bro. and Sr. W., is my prayer.
JOSEPH BATES.

Lessons from the Wisdom of War
THE WISDOM OF WAR.—The following paragraph is applicable to more cases than wars between kings and nations. Many of the troubles that rise among brethren to perplex and distract the church rest upon just about as great a foundation, and are carried on with just about as much reason, as in the following illustration. We hope the hint it contains will be taken and acted upon:
“A certain king, it is said, sent to another king, saying, ‘Send me a blue pig with a black tail, or else—’” The other, in high dudgeon at the presumed insult, replied, ‘I have not got one, and if I had—’ On which weighty cause they went to war for many years. After a satiety of glories and miseries, they finally bethought them that, as their armies and resources were exhausted and their kingdoms mutually laid waste, it might be well enough to consult about the preliminaries of peace; but before this could be concluded, a diplomatic explanation was first needed of the insulting language which had formed the ground of the quarrel. ‘What could you mean,’ asked the second king of the first, ‘by saying, Send me a blue pig with a black tail, or else—?’ ‘Why,’ said the other, ‘I meant a blue pig with a black tail, or else some other color. But,’ retorted he, ‘what could you mean by saying, ‘I have not got one, and if I had—?’ ‘Why, of course if I had I should have sent it;’ an explanation which was entirely satisfactory, and peace was concluded accordingly.”
Raise the Christian's Standard Higher
RAISE the christian's standard higher,
Higher be the christian's aim,
And to nobler things aspire
Than a mere professor's name.
Always be a hnmble christian,
Never be a lifeless one,
Imitate the bright example
Of Jehovah's only son.
Let your love be pnre and active,
And yonr zeal both bold and strong,
Your deportment so attractive
As to draw the world along.
