A Sabbath-Keeping Believer’s Testimony

Bro. D. E. Smith writes from Vesper, N. Y.: It is about one year since I commenced obeying the fourth commandment. I was then in Iowa City, and had never heard a Seventh-day Adventist minister. Some weeks after, I heard Eld. Snook deliver several discourses on various topics. In September I moved to this State, and have not seen one of like precious faith since, except once when I was privileged to attend a monthly meeting at Kirkville. So you can imagine with what delight I hail the Review with its cheering words of comfort, kind reproof, and valuable advice.

Although I am encompassed with opposers, I can truly say with David, "O, how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day. Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than my enemies; for they are ever with me." "Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause; but I will meditate in thy precepts." Although poor in this world's goods, yet am I contented; for "the law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver."

If ever the true follower of Christ should be on his guard, it is now; for Satan, knowing that his time is short, is exerting his powers to their utmost extent to entrap the soldier of Christ. If ever we should wrestle with God for his assisting grace, it is now. If ever we should live soberly, it is now. And if ever we should come out from the world and be entirely separate, it is now.

Dear brethren and sisters, I want to meet you in the kingdom, and do here covenant that with God's help I will grow in grace daily, and in the knowledge of the truth. I will also strive to glorify him in my body as well as spirit.

The Sabbath a Delight

Sister J. T. Freeman writes from Springville, Iowa: I can truly say the Sabbath is to me a delight. The Review is a source of much comfort to me. I love everything that is connected with the third angel's message. Last Sabbath I walked nearly three miles to meet with three other sisters in a prayer-meeting; and though we were few, there were enough to claim the promise, and I felt well repaid for my walk to and from the meeting. It is my greatest desire to overcome all the evils of my nature, and live so that I may be prepared for the coming of my blessed Saviour, which I believe to be near.

A Request for a Preacher at Duran

Bro. J. Jones writes from Duran, Wis.: There are a few here in Duran striving to live out the truth of the third message. We meet twice a week. We have good meetings. We would be glad if some messenger could come this way, as soon as convenient. Nearly all the preaching we have is the Review.

A Share in the Association

Sister L. Wales writes from Melbourne, C. E.:

Bro. WHITE: Although I never had the pleasure of your personal acquaintance, yet I hope wo are one in the hope of the glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. My trust is strong in the Lord, and I mean by God's assisting grace to go forward with God's remnant people to mount Zion. I am in union with the body. I sympathize withu you and Sister White in the many trials you have had to pass through. I also rejoice that God's people are coming into order, when the labors of those who have had a care for the remnant will be appreciated, the straight testimony heeded, and the Lord work through his people. I feel that I want to cast in my mite with the people of God, and I will take one share in the Association.

ISAAC SANBORN

By Isaac Sanborn

PROVIDENCE permitting, I will meet with the church at Deerfield, Steele Co., Minn., July 18 and 19 and continue over the week following.

Also with the church at Cleveland, Le Seur Co., Minn., Aug. 1 and 2, and continue over Sabbath and first-day, August 8 and 9.

Also with the church at Pleasant Grove, Olmstead Co., August 15 and 16, and continue over the week following.

ISAAC SANBORN

Note from Bro. Sanborn.

I met with the brethren in Orinoco Minn., according to appointment, and have preached five times to a goodly number of interested brethren and sisters, gathered from different parts of the country. The indications are good, and I feel encouraged to believe that the Lord is going to gather his people in Minn., and unite them with the body. Bro. Snook has not joined me yet but I expect him this week.

Isaac Sanborn.

Note from Bro. Bostwick.

By Jno. Bostwick

Bro. White : We have about finished our lectures in this place (Ettyville, Minn.) Some have come out on the truth. Others are still investigating. We are striving to follow up the interest, and another course of lectures is being delivered six miles west of Bro. Darling's, at the village of Leroy, Mower Co. Here I had the privilege of addressing a large congregation of attentive listeners. I am glad to see an appointment for Brn. Snook and Sanborn for Minn. I hope their labors in this State may be blessed to the good of the cause.

Fourth of July.

By Uriah Smith

THE Old Michigan Tent will be pitched in the town of Convis, six miles north of Marshall, for a general gathering of the friends of the Sabbath, in Calhoun and surrounding counties, on Sabbath, July 4, 1863. This meeting will commence on the 3d at 7 P. M., and hold over first-day.

The few friends of the cause in Convis are ever ready with pleasure to act well their part; but the plan of this meeting is that all, as far as is convenient, should come with food and clothing prepared to take care of themselves, excepting a shelter. Men can sleep in the tent and in barns. Women can have the floors of houses, and as much better accomodations as can be furnished. Bring straw ticks to be filled with new hay at the place of meeting, and other necessary bed-clothing. Those coming on the cars to Marshall, Friday, can be taken to the place of meeting, and back to the cars on Monday, at a reasonable price. All those who wish to be taken from the cars must notify Uriah Smith as early as July 1.

Elder John Byington, and Elder James White and wife design to be present at this meeting.

Uriah Smith, Jno. Byington, Cyrenius Smith, } Com.

Quarterly Meeting at Avon

The next Quarterly Meeting of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Avon, Rock Co., Wis., will be held on the fourth and fifth of July next. Will Bro. Ingraham, Steward, or some one of the preaching brethren meet with us. JOSEPH G. WOOD.
