Prayers for Afflicted Brethren

By Lewis Martin

From Bro. Martin.

DEAR BRO. WHITE : I can truly say that I feel to sympathize with you in your afflictions, and I desire, and pray, that the good Lord will overrule this affliction for his glory and your good. I do hope and trust, that God will raise you, and his other dear servants, from your feeble condition, and strengthen you to once more declare the solemn truths of the third angel's message. Oh how solemn the time in which we live! The brethren and sisters in this region remember you in their prayers. May God bless you and yours abundantly, and may we meet at last in the everlasting kingdom, to part no more forever.

In hope, Bennington, Vt., Nov. 15, 1865. LEWIS MARTIN.

Lonely Sabbath Keeping

By A. W. Smith

From A. W. Smith.

Bro. White : It is with a heart of gratitude to God for his goodness, that I write a few words to let the brethren and sisters of like faith know that I still love the cause. And my prayer is that the truth may spread through the length and breadth of the land. I wish that some of the preachers could come here, for I believe there are some honest ones, who if they could hear a course of lectures, would come out on the side of truth. It has been most two years since I have heard any preaching by a Seventh-day Adventist, except what I get through the Review; that comes as a messenger of peace to cheer me in my loneliness. I see many dark and lonely hours in trying to keep the Lord's Sabbath here. There are no Sabbath-keepers in this place except myself. About seven miles from here there is a sister, and that is the nearest one that I know of. Although the road be dark, I believe through grace I can conquer, and by the grace of God I am determined to press forward to the end, for such only have the promise. I desire to be with those that are ready and waiting for the Lord, who will come to redeem his children. I love the appearing of that dear Saviour, who has died that we poor sinful mortals might live.

A Call for a Preacher

M. W. & M. A. Neal, of Osceola, Iowa, writes: We are still striving, by the assisting grace of God, to overcome the evils of this world, and to be prepared for the soon and glorious appearing of our dear Saviour. We, in our lonely situation, ever hail the weekly visits of our Review with joy. We would be glad if a messenger could come this way and preach in this part of the country. The people, though generally quite worldly-minded, appear to be the most ready to hear we ever saw them. We think good might be done here.

Trusting God’s Promises

God loves that his people should put his bonds (his promises) in suit; and he who does so shall find God near him though friends should leave him and the world he in arms against him.

Obituary Notices.

DIED, at Charlotte, Mich., Nov. 28, 1865, Sr. Anna Maria Clark, aged 38 years.

Sr. Clark embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, at the tent-meeting in this place, a little more than three years ago. Benevolent and kind to all, she was loved by all. Her life was consistent with her profession, and with a firm hope of a part in the first resurrection, she fell asleep.

Funeral discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. iv, 14.

I. D. VAN HORN.

DIED, at Oneida, Eaton Co., Mich., Nov. 2, 1865, of continued fever, Sr. Eunice C., wife of Bro. F. F. Lamoreaux, aged 38 years and 10 months.

Sr. L. was firmly established in the present truth, having kept the Sabbath of the Lord for more than ten years. Faithful to her God, and confident in the Christian's hope to the end of her life, she now sleeps in Jesus.

"Sleep, dear sister, kind and tender, To friendship true, While with feeling hearts we render This tribute due. "When the morn of glory, breaking, Shall light the tomb, Beautiful will be thy waking, In fadeless bloom."

Discourse by the writer from 1 Cor. xv, 22, 23.

I. D. VAN HORN.

DIED, at sea, of dysentery, Sept. 11th, 1865, on board the ship Richard S. Ely, of New York, five days out from Shields, England, on her passage to New York, Joseph Anson, only son of Joseph and P. M. Bates, aged 35 years.

"Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set—but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death! Thou art where billows foam, Thou art where music melts upon the air; Thou art around us in our peaceful home, And the world calls us forth—and thou art there."

JOSEPH BATES.

Monterey, Nov. 26, 1865.

Effects of Climate

"Effects of Climate."—Wilkinson, in that unique and most admirable work, 'The Human Body and its Connection with Man,' thus characterizes some of the effects of climate upon the human features: 'The inhabitants of the regions of gusty winds have weather-beaten faces and lines as of the tempests blown howling into their skins. Mountain races have stony or granitic features, as of rocks abandoned to the barren air. The people of moist and marshy places look watery and lymphatic. Those where extremes of temperature prevail for long periods are leathern and shriveled, as though their skins had given up the contest with Nature, and died upon their faces.'—Am. Phren. Jour.

Is it not on the above hypothesis also by which we are to account for all the physiological phases we behold among the human species,—as size, stature, complexion, &c.? Have not climate, diet, and the ordinary habits of life, wrought out these varied physiological differences? This is what ethnologists generally suppose. G.

Correction

By Editor

Correction.—The types told a wrong story last week in giving the place of worship of the brethren in Chicago. They said, "No. 25, West Monroe Street." It should have been, "No. 250," &c. We correct per request.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS COMING!—The little folks of course must be remembered on these occasions. This is right: I would suggest, however, that, instead of filling the children's stockings with candy, sugar-birds, and rubber-dogs, and telling them that that mythical creature—old Santa Claus—came down the chimney or through the key-hole, and paid such respect to their suspended hosiery, you had far better send to this Office and procure for them one or more of the following named, really beautiful, interesting and valuable little books; viz: BETHLEHEM AND HER CHILDREN; MORNING STAR; SWEET STORY OF OLD; PROMISED ONE; JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN; HISTORY OF PAUL; SKETCHES FROM JERICHO.

The "merry Christmas" and "happy New-year" that the little ones would enjoy on receiving such a nice present from "father" or "mother," would pay ten times the cost. And, perchance, above all, you might thereby start a bud in their young minds, that would grow into love for heavenly and divine things and eventually ripen into immortality. Try it.

We will send these books, postage paid, at from 40 to 45 cents each.

Then if you would remember that older boy or girl of yours, or that young man, or young woman for whom you have such a tender regard, by the presentation of a suitable Christmas or New Year's gift, just send us $2,75 and receive, postage paid, the HAND BOOK FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT. This is just the book for the young. It is all that its title claims for it; viz: How to write; How to talk; How to behave; How to do business.
