Earlier text: Are Angels Spirits?Missouri: Two Weeks Visit and Brother Butler
By George I. Butler
I HAVE recently spent two weeks in this State, a brief notice of which may be of interest to the readers of the REVIEW. I had the privilege of forming the acquaintance of Bro. T. J. Butler, formerly of Ohio. The older readers of the paper will recollect him as one of its contributors, and as a preacher among us previous to organization. When the subject of the name our people should take, came up, in connection with their being organized, Bro. B. honestly differed with his brethren. This caused a coldness of feeling to arise on his part toward his brethren and became a cause of backsliding to him, till finally he gave up the observance of the Sabbath altogether, and made no profession of religion at all for years. But in this state of mind, we can say to his credit, he did not pursue the dishonorable course several ministers have who left our people. He did not turn round and try to injure those who had been his friends. He simply went about his business of trying to support his family and living like an honest man among his fellows. And during this time of alienation he received several applications from one sect or another, and among them from some others who had gone out from among us, to preach for them and aid in their work. But he uniformly refused. He felt all the time if he made any profession, or attempted to teach others, it must be with the Seventh-day Adventist people. We regard this as an honorable course of conduct. But while in this state of partial alienation from God’s people, the hand of Providence seemed to be constantly against him in temporal matters, so that all his efforts seemed to be fruitless; and although he made superhuman efforts to succeed he was constantly thwarted. I could but think as he related his experience to me that his case was a vivid illustration of an overruling Providence in the affairs of men. It had not been so previous to his being a Sabbath-keeper. He then could succeed as well as other men. At last he became convinced that he was fighting against Providence, and humbled his heart and resolved to come back toward God’s people. As he did this he began to feel once more hope in God, and a measure of his blessing. I believe Bro. B. has fully surrendered, and now stands ready to once more fight shoulder to shoulder in the good cause of present truth with his brethren. He has long since ceased to have any bad feelings because of the name our people have chosen, and is in perfect agreement with them on this and all other points of doctrine. As soon as his temporal affairs can be arranged he desires to labor in the cause where his brethren think he can do most good. His faithful wife has held on to the truth these long years, and also to the arm of the Lord, and now once more rejoices that they are a united family. We hope the readers of the REVIEW may soon hear from him. March 16 and 17, I was with the church at Civil Bend, and tried to give them such instruction as seemed needful. We had a good attendance, and I trust a profitable meeting. Nearly all were strangers to me, but I could see we were all of the same family. This church have passed through some severe trials in years gone by, but are united and determined to go forward. I hope to meet with them hereafter and have more time to spend, and be better able to help them. I formed many pleasant acquaintances, some of whom are not identified with our people. I am glad to say that the Missouri tent is a sure thing, so far as any human event can be. Before the readers of the REVIEW will see this report, it will be ordered, and probably in Missouri by the first of May, ready for tent season and camp-meeting. With a tent in the field, and laborers to run it, this Conference may hope for better days. There is a great field open here, and I can but believe many places where souls may be reached. I hope those already keeping the Sabbath in this Conference will make a special effort to make their camp-meeting a success by attending it, even at a sacrifice. God will bless them if they rally nobly up to the work. There are many scattered brethren in this Conference who need to attend such a meeting. Prove me, says the Lord, and see if I will not pour you out a blessing. Fairfield, Iowa, March 27, 1872. Gratiot Co., Mich.
By I. D. Van Horn
I began meetings at Ithaca, on Friday evening, Feb. 16, and remained with them eighteen days, holding, during this time, twenty-seven meetings. I found the church in quite a low condition, spiritually, and in much need of help. Some difficulties existed, which brought discouragement upon all. Satan always deals out his heaviest blows at the head, and so we found it in this place. But our meetings resulted in a great change for the better. Difficulties were settled, and many hearty confessions were made. The brethren and sisters did nobly in getting out to the meetings. They seemed hungry for the truth, and I trust they were benefited by what they heard. Quite a good many outside of the church attended, though the Methodists commenced a protracted meeting soon after we began ours, and continued it for a few days after we closed. Some became interested in the truth, and three or four took a determined stand to keep the Sabbath and identify themselves with us. Commenced meetings with the Alma church March 6, continued two weeks, holding twenty-two meetings. Difficulties existed here also, but as far as I know, they were all happily adjusted, and a good feeling of friendship and brotherly love prevailed among the members when our meetings closed. The attendance throughout, on the part of the members, and of those without, was good here also. Some that had become backslidden took hold anew, and three or four made a start for the first time to keep all the commandments and go with us. I hope there are many brighter days for this church than formerly. A Tract Society was organized here, and all seemed to take hold of it with becoming zeal. I left them cheerful and happy. Bro. Corliss and Bro. Fisher were with me, and lent a helping hand in the work. After leaving Alma, by the request of Bro. Corliss I went with him to Vernon in the north part of Isabella County, where a few had come out in the truth under his labors last fall, or the fore part of the winter. We held eight meetings, and were much cheered at the good result. There was a good interest outside and some became favorable to the truth. On Sunday, the 24th, we went three miles to the river, cut away the ice, and six were buried in baptism. It was a pleasant day and a happy season to us all. The Lord blessed us and gave assurance of his approbation. The next day we organized a church of ten members. Bro. James A. Converse was elected and ordained their elder. By the direction of Bro. Wm. Nelson, Director of Dist. No. 9, we organized a Tract Society here, and they all heartily took hold of the work. They had arranged their Systematic Benevolence some time before our meeting, to the amount of $50.00 per year. We were much pleased to see them all with such harmony of feeling in all the work of the present truth. May the Lord bless them, and may they keep the light of truth burning there till the Saviour comes. Battle Creek, April 1, 1872. Illinois Quarterly Meeting at Monroe and Vogel Debate
By R. F. Andrews
The quarterly meeting at Monroe, Wis., was an excellent meeting. I was greatly cheered by meeting with those dear brethren, some of whom I had not seen for nearly two years. It was also a pleasure to meet with Bro. Sanborn once more. Jan. 22-26, was engaged in a discussion with Eld. Peter Vogel, Disciple minister. The questions discussed were, the Sabbath and the first day of the week. Eld. V.'s brethren think that he is a wonderful man. They boast of him as one of the best, if not the very best scholar ever produced by their college at Eureka, Ill.; and it was evident to all that he considered his brethren correct in their judgment in his case. The common version, when in his way, was set aside, and a translation of his own took its place. The authority of Doddridge, Clarke, Macknight, Wesley, and even Campbell, the founder of his own denomination, was set aside by him as perfectly worthless, when in conflict with his views. In a word, he transcended all authority. He was assisted by Prof. Braden of the Southern Illinois College. So, if boasting and arrogated learning could show the non-existence of the Lord's Sabbath, and the binding force and sacredness of the first day of the week, it certainly would have been done here. But he most assuredly made a complete failure, even in the estimation of his own brethren. They did not express this in words, but by a more forcible testimony, viz., in their actions. Before the contest commenced they were perfectly jubilant, and certain of victory. It would have reminded you of the army of the Philistines with defiant Goliath at their head. But when their champion had fallen, and the absurdities of their position became apparent, their jubilant, triumphant feelings gave place to wrathful ones, which cling to some of them still, evincing most clearly that this matter did not terminate as they had expected. I never more fully realized the strength and impregnability of the truth, and the weakness on the side of the opposition. I often asked myself during the debate, “What could I do, had I the other side of this question to defend?” I am more than ever convinced of the sacredness and binding force of God's holy Sabbath, and that Sunday-keeping is a human tradition that makes void the commandments of God. I would here state that Bro. Whitham, of Aledo, rendered effectual service during the debate, by his criticisms on the Greek. I also had the help of my dear fellow-laborer, Bro. T. M. Steward. But it is to the truth, and the God of truth, “who has chosen the weak things to confound the mighty,” that the praise belongs. Blessed be his name, what a treasure he has given his people, in giving them the light on his holy Sabbath. Oh! that we may be faithful to the sacred trust reposed in us. Feb. 2-12, labored with the brethren near Aledo. These dear brethren and sisters love the truth. What a change in their neighborhood in the short space of one year. Then there was but one family that kept God's Sabbath in the vicinity, now a large assembly meet together every Sabbath. Houses where the voice of prayer was not heard then, have now become houses of prayer. The Lord has wrought wonderfully for his people. The outside interest never was better than at present. I am satisfied that a thorough course of lectures delivered there now, would be attended with the best of results. I obtained eleven new subscribers for the Review, besides some for the Instructor and Reformer. Six precious souls took their stand with God's people on his commandments. May the Lord help this dear people to always gather with Christ and never scatter abroad. Feb. 16-23, held meetings with the brethren at Rockton, and Roscoe. The quarterly meeting was well attended. There were brethren present from Avon, Oakland, Johnstown, Whitewater, Clinton, Crane's Grove, and Beaver. The Lord met with us graciously, and we all felt that it was good to try to draw near unto him. It is blessed to enjoy the society of God's people here. May the Lord help us so to live, that we may enjoy their society eternally. If we fail of everlasting life, what a loss! Lord, help us to realize it. I preached, during my stay, twice at Roscoe. There are a few here that love the commandments of God, and desire the salvation of their friends and neighbors. May they ever be faithful. Feb. 23-27, at Greenvale. This meeting was not as large as we expected, owing to bad roads and disagreeable weather; but the Lord was pleased to meet with us, and let his blessing graciously rest upon us. Outside prejudice is evidently giving way, and there are ears to hear there now, that would not hear one year ago. There were six young people that took their stand with their parents to live in the service of the Lord. Oh! that they may be valiant soldiers, and prove faithful till the Master comes. While attending the above meetings, there were two things that encouraged us much. First, the giving up of prejudice among the people, and secondly, the missionary spirit among the brethren. May the great Head of the church arouse us to a true sense of the responsibility that rests upon us. We have not as yet organized a missionary and tract society in our Conference. This will be done at our next Conference. Till then let each and all do all in their power to interest all they can and draw them to the truth. As some are anxious to know where our Conference and camp-meeting are to be held this year, I would state that the committee have decided that near Aledo, Mercer Co., Ill., is the best place to hold it. This is a point easy of access to all. Let us lay our plans, and make our calculations to attend this gathering of the people of God. D. T. BOURDEAU
By D. T. Bourdeau
Our effort in this place is necessarily brought to a close for the present, by other protracted efforts which have worn on the people. Also, some have been prejudiced by the preachers. But what have the preachers done? Have they grappled with the nine or ten perfect chains of prophecy reaching down to the end of time? Have they refuted the scores of prophetic declarations which are being fulfilled in our day, and which, with the long chains of prophecy, show us unmistakably that the day of God with its dread realities is about to break upon us? Oh, no! They have met all these irrefutable arguments by side thrusts and slurs, resembling in their nature the objections that infidels raise against the Bible. Where are their strong reasons to show that Christ will not soon come, and that therefore prophecies indicating his advent near are not fulfilled, or are prematurely fulfilled or fulfilling? that the prophets either made a mistake in their prophetic utterances, or that somehow, God, men, or devils, have prematurely shaped events to meet the prophecies, and that consequently, if Christ is not near, when he does come the church and the world will have had no prophetic signs as precursors of his advent? The indirect efforts that have been made against us on the Sabbath have impressed the candid with the fact that the ancient Sabbath is not easily demolished. Five are now keeping the Sabbath, and we have established a small Bible-class and Sabbath-school. The few now keeping the Sabbath, can, by consistent walk, remove prejudice, and open the way for more good to be accomplished. Last week, I went to Colesburg and enjoyed a very agreeable interview with Dr. Comb, Jr. His wife has taken a firm stand on the Sabbath and kindred truth. Locust Grove, Ky., March 26, 1872. JOHN MATTESON
By John Matteson
Our quarterly meeting at Oakland, Wis., was well attended. I rejoiced to meet brethren and friends again after an absence of seven months. A Scandinavian Tract Society, Bible-class, and Sisters' Mission, were organized. I have just finished a series of meetings in Raymond. I remained thirteen days, and had twenty meetings. Bro. O. A. Olson has been with me, and has rendered acceptable assistance. The meetings were well attended. Five willing candidates were baptized, and ten united with the church. Six more have decided to keep the Sabbath. The church numbers now twenty-seven members. They raised their Systematic Benevolence $42.00, so that it now amounts to about $85.00 per year. Pledged $525.00 to build a meeting-house, which, with the $150.00, they had before for that purpose, will not be much short of what is needed. A Bible-class and tract society were organized. May the Lord bless these dear brethren much, and help us all to be faithful. 82 Rucker St., Chicago, March 28, 1872. Trusting the Father with Our Hardest Work
Oh! how sweet it is, whenever we come to any bit of work that is too hard for us, just to go and ask our Father to help us in it. The little child feels that he has no strength or wisdom of his own; but he knows where to look for both. Show me how to do this; it is too difficult for me. And so the father bends down in pitying love and patience, and the child stands meekly by, helpless and yet trustful, while the burden is lifted by a stronger hand, and the tangled threads fall into their proper places.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. DIED, in Wright, Ottawa Co., Mich., March 23, 1872, Bro. Sanford Hastings, aged about thirty years. He leaves a wife and three small children to mourn his loss. They laid him away in hope of a happy reunion at the soon coming of the Saviour. Discourse by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:26. H. M. KENYON. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. California State Meeting.
The fourth annual session of the California State Meeting of S. D. Adventists will be held with the church at Santa Rosa, Sonoma Co., Cal., commencing Thursday evening, April 25, and continuing to Sunday evening, April 28. Business session Friday, the 26th, at 9 A. M. Come, brethren and sisters, praying the Lord to be with us, to bless us, to guide us in all our deliberations for the spread of the truth on this coast. Come prepared to stay till the meetings close. Make your calculations. Lay your plans before hand. Let nothing hinder your attending this annual gathering. Leave your business at home and come for the special object of getting nearer to God and worshiping him. Come with heart, head, and hands all dedicated to the Lord. Come to aid in the work by your talents of influence, strength, and means. If our brethren in Sonoma Co. will bring blankets, &c., the church in Santa Rosa will furnish house room, and do what they can to entertain the brethren and sisters. We hope every church and individual in California will have their S. B. account squared up to the first of April so that this State Meeting may present a clean record. Bro. Cornell expects to return East immediately after this State Meeting. So this will be your last opportunity of hearing him for the present. May the Lord bless us and work for us as we strive to learn and do his will. It was voted at our last State Meeting to have a camp-meeting this spring; but, as our churches by vote release that obligation, we appoint the above, and leave camp-meeting until Bro. and sister White come.

By R. F. Andrews
OUR State Secretary complains that the clerks in nearly all the churches fail to send him their quarterly reports. Let there be a reformation on this point. It is not right to neglect this matter till we come to Conference, and force our Secretary to do this business when there are other duties that need his attention. The third report is now due. Let all who have not reported heretofore, now report immediately. Send reports to G. W. Colcord, Marshall, Clark Co., Ill. R. F. ANDREWS. We would notify all the correspondents of the REVIEW, that for the accommodation of our subscribers, a change has been made in the time of mailing the paper. It has heretofore been the custom to work the last side of the paper Monday, and get it into the mail Tuesday. But with this arrangement, many of those most distant from the Office of publication, do not get the paper before the Sabbath; which is a great disappointment to them. It has therefore been decided to try to get the paper into the mail one day earlier; that is, work the last side Sunday, and get it into the first mail Monday. But to do this, the matter must all be ready, and the paper closed up, on the Friday previous. All appointments or articles, therefore, designed for any particular issue of the paper, should be sent in season to reach this Office the Friday previous to the day of publication. THE following from the Louisville Ledger shows how some of the miserably besotted devotees of fashion attempt to improve upon nature, and the results they reap from so doing. These results are all right. Let insulted nature vindicate her violated laws; and no matter how severe are her penalties, the decision of every sensible mind will be that just and true are her ways. “A lady in Louisville paid $75, we are told, for having her face enameled for the ball given at the Galt House for the Grand Duke Alexis. The enameling was warranted to last three days, and so it did. The lady was taken ill upon her return home from the ball, her face became greatly swollen, the most acute pain succeeded, and it was only by the employment of the best medical skill that her life was saved. This statement we have from an undoubted source. “But the case of this lady is not so bad as that of another Louisville lady who became enamored of the odious fashion of enameling the face. She visited another city, far to the eastward, some months ago, for the sole purpose of having her face enameled according to the latest Parisian mode. She had heard that a noted Parisian was engaged in the enameling business at the city in question, and to him she went upon her arrival. For the sum of $500 he agreed to enamel her face so scientifically that the enamel would remain undamaged for three years, and a year or two longer if extra care was taken in washing the face according to its prescribed method. The devotee of fashion concluded the bargain, and paid $300 of the sum named, the balance to be paid in yearly installments, divided into three years, “The lady received the enamel and returned to her home in this city. Since her return she has disappeared from society. There was so much poison in the enamel that its effects were almost immediately developed in the almost total paralysis of the facial nerves, and what was once a truly beautiful face, is now a distorted, disfigured and ulcerous one. “The lady’s beauty has disappeared forever, and if her physicians succeed in saving her life they will have accomplished more than they had a right to hope for. Her eyes are terribly inflamed and disfigured, and the sight of them fast failing.” To the Brethren in Illinois.
By R. F. Andrews
DEAR BRETHREN: We need a second tent for our Conference. God has been hearing our prayers in raising up laborers, and now we want to give them an opportunity to labor to the best advantage. We calculate sending the tent we now have to the southern part of the State to be pitched early in May, and we want to have the new one pitched in the vicinity where our camp-meeting is to be held as soon as the weather will answer. We want you, brethren, to take right hold of this work as one man. Those who did comparatively nothing toward paying for our first tent are especially invited to take hold of this in earnest. Let the elders and leading brethren in the different churches ascertain what can be done in their several communities. Get all the ready cash you can, and take pledges payable the first of June. Let all the scattered friends of the cause in the State report for themselves what they will do. It will take an earnest and united effort from all to accomplish this object, but it can and must be done. Send the money and pledges to me, to New Genesee, Whiteside Co., Ill., by the first day of May. I can borrow for a short time the amount unpaid and immediately purchase the tent. Now, brethren, let us be expeditious in this matter and work for our Master while we have opportunity. The night is coming in which none can work. The rich and their hoarded treasures will soon be consumed together, while the faithful, sacrificing ones will enter into the joy of their Lord. We sincerely hope that there will be nothing but generosity and liberality manifested in this matter. Should there be one or two hundred dollars raised more than necessary to purchase the tent, it will all be used to advance this precious cause. “The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.” R. F. ANDREWS, for Conference Committee. An urgent call for preaching on the present truth comes in from Sturgeon Bay, Wis.
Request for Address of Sisters Rebecca and Ann Stem
By D. M. CANIGBAT
WILL sisters Rebecca and Ann Stem of Ohio, please give us their address? D. M. CANIGBAT. Oh! in Thy Light, Be Mine to Go
Oh! in Thy light, be mine to go,
Illumine all my way of woe;
And give me ever, on thy word,
To trace thy footsteps, O my God!
My passions lull, my spirit calm,
And make this lion heart a lamb;
And give me all my life, to be
A sacrifice to love and thee. How to Break One's Self of Bad Habits.
Understand clearly the reasons, and all the reasons, why the habit is injurious. Study the subject until there is no lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid the places, the persons, and the thoughts, that lead to temptation. We are responsible even for our thoughts. Frequent the places, associate with the persons, indulge the thoughts, that lead away from temptation. Keep busy; idleness is the strength of bad habits. Do not give up the struggle when you have broken your resolution once, twice, ten times, a thousand times. While there is life there is hope, and that only shows how much need there is to strive. When you have broken your resolution through lack of firmness and moral sense, just think the matter over, and endeavor to understand why it was you failed, so that you may be on your guard against recurrences of the same circumstances. Do not think it a little or an easy thing that you have undertaken. It is folly to expect to break off a habit in a day which may have been gathering strength in you for years. Be manly, be brave. Learn to say No, and to stick to it Atheism's Hidden Growth and the Coming Conflict
No accurate statistics of Atheism have ever been taken. But Christians should know that everywhere in secret and public, the Atheistic element is at work preparing for a conflict more fearful than any the Christian world has ever witnessed. English Nonconformist Critiques the Cincinnati Christian Convention
This is the way our “Christian Convention” strikes the English Nonconformist: “There has been a proposal to ‘recognize’ Christianity in the Constitution of the United States, as though that would do Christianity any good. A convention upon the subject has met at Cincinnati, and ended in doing nothing. The movement has an ‘organ’ however, and the organ explains what is meant by it. It is sought to compel an observance of the Sabbath, and officers of the Government are to be put under the law of Christianity in their official acts—whatever that may mean. With a large infusion of European ecclesiasticism in the United States, it is not surprising that movements of this kind should take place. Why, even in this country, after an experience of hundreds of years, there are to be found intelligent and cultivated men who actually believe in a State church! Who, then, can be surprised at anything?” Books, Pamphlets, Tracts, &c.,
