Bro. S. A. Howard writes from West Bangor, N. Y.: "I have lacked faith in the past; but God's servants in their faithfulness lifted the veil, so that I could see God's promises; and I ventured out upon them. I thought myself so poor that I could not see any way to pay anything to the S. B. fund; but since I trusted in the promises of God and pledged a small sum for the S. B. fund, he has prospered us abundantly, so that I can pay full price for my Review, and have no trouble in paying our pledges. The Lord has blessed us as a family, in uniting us in the truth. I feel like giving God the praise.
Bro. J. Whitenack writes from Painted Post, N. Y.: I still cherish the hope, through grace, that when He who is my life shall appear, I shall appear with him in glory. The Review is a welcome messenger to me, as I have not the privilege of meeting with those of like faith on the Sabbath. It rejoices my heart to hear from the lonely ones, and learn their determinations to press forward. "Cast not away your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward; for yet a little while and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry." I feel that I very much need an interest in the prayers of God's people.
Bro. E. Metcalf writes from Chardon, Ohio: There are a few of us here in Chardon trying to keep the Sabbath-day holy. Bro. Waggoner lectured here in July last. Our little company of eight meet together on the Sabbath-day, to talk of the goodness of God, and to encourage each other to persevere in this present, glorious truth. Pray for us, that we may be accounted worthy to escape all those things that are coming on the earth, and to stand before the Son of man.

Notice Concerning the New Charts
By Editor
WE have received a number of orders for the new charts. We would say to those ordering, that none have yet been received at this office. We are expecting them daily, and as soon as received, orders will be filled.
Articles on the Mark and Seal in Tract Form
The articles on the Mark of the Beast, and the Seal of the Living God, which have lately appeared in the Review, are now ready for circulation in tract form. Believers in present truth are well aware that one great point on which the bigoted and uninformed endeavor to raise prejudice against us, is our regarding the observance of Sunday as the mark of the beast. Brethren should therefore be posted on this point, and endeavor as far as possible to dispel the ignorance that exists in the minds of others. Price of pamphlet, without covers, 3 cts.; with covers, 5 cts.; weight, nearly one oz. Packages of five can be sent for 2 cts. postage.
Articles on Tobacco in Pamphlet Form
By Editor
We learn that desires have been expressed to have the late articles on tobacco issued in pamphlet form. It was not at first the intention to issue them in that form, and the type has been distributed. We are glad the brethren appreciate them, and hope they will study them all the more thoroughly in the papers.
