DEATH has again entered the little band here in Hastings, and torn from our midst a dear sister, a kind companion, and an affectionate mother. She sweetly sleeps in Jesus—blessed sleep from which none ever wake to weep. She died in the full triumph of faith, in hope of a glorious resurrection; which, of all hopes is the most cheering : it buoys up our spirits even in death to know that the voice of God is soon to sound and call forth from their dusty beds the sleeping saints; and Christ our life-giver (Col. iii, 3-4) will soon appear to fashion our vile bodies like unto his most glorious body.
Her last moments were made glad with the blessed hope of soon being united with her family in the everlasting kingdom of God, where death and affliction will not come near, and where all weeping hearts will be made glad. O may her friends and relatives prepare to meet her on the blissful shores of eternity where they may not be parted a second time. Her funeral discourse was preached by Bro. J. B. Frisbie, from Rev. xiv, 13, from this was shown when those who sleep will receive their reward.
"Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shalt know.
Dearest sister thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the days of time are fled,
Thou in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed."
Sister Conkright died on the 10th day of January, 1855, aged 34 years.

JOHN BARDEN
By John Barden
From Bro. Barden.
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I feel very thankful to the Lord our God that I have the privilege of hearing from the remnant of the Lord's children, who are striving in these "last days" to keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus; and while opposition to the truth is raging among the world and the professed churches, and while "they are willingly ignorant" of "those things that are coming upon the earth," how carefully ought we to walk before the world, who say that peace and safety is coming; and that all the world will be converted to God; and some in this place say that the seventh day Sabbath ought not to be preached: now, I ask, brethren, How does the case stand with such men who are professed christians? They will not come to the light, lest their deeds should be reproved: they have a form of godliness, but they do deny the power: from such turn away.
I have made up my mind, brethren, that Satan with all his malice will make war with the remnant of God's children. Shall we shrink and murmur against the Lord? No: by the help of the Lord we will stop our ears to the siren songs of the world, and go on crying, Life, life, eternal life! But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? only such as have clean hands and pure hearts. "Unto you that fear my name shall the Son of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings." When the Son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth?
Brethren let us examine ourselves carefully by the word of God and see whether we be in the faith or not; to the law and to the testimony—contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
Says Jesus, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father." John xiv, 12. "And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Mark xvi, 17, 18. Let us hold fast the present truth, keep all the commandments, and love one another with pure hearts fervently; and bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. There are many that would hinder the work of God, and there are some that profess to be standing on the present truth, that have been and still are drawing away to perdition. The Lord is proving his people. The Lord will sift the house of Israel and all the sinners of his people shall die with the sword. Amos ix, 9, 10.
The Lord will bruise Satan shortly under our feet. Soon the voice will be heard from the throne of God, saying, It is finished. Brethren, in patience let us possess our souls. Trials may press heavily upon us, but the Lord will be the hope of his people and the glory of Israel. The Devil has come down having great wrath for he knoweth that he hath but a short time to do his work. The nations are getting very angry. God's wrath is coming, and the time of the dead that they should be judged. May we so live that when the Lord comes, we can say, Lo! this is our God, we have waited for him.

A Testimony on Sabbath Truth
By Henry Hilliard
From Bro. Hilliard.
Dear Bro. White :—When I commenced taking the Review I was keeping Sunday for the Sabbath of the Lord. It was very reluctantly that I embraced the seventh day as the Sabbath of the Lord, although I could not see how the first day of the week was the Sabbath from God's holy word, yet I thought it must be, as I had been taught to keep it, and all the world around as far as they observed any day kept Sunday as the Sabbath of the Lord. Why should I not think it right to keep it? Well, I saw that the word of the Lord blessed and sanctified the seventh day, while there was no blessing promised for keeping the first day of the week. "The law is holy, just, and good," and "great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend them." I formerly used to believe (and thought sincerely it was taught from God's holy word,) that the wicked existed eternally in misery; and if they do, they must have eternal life in misery; for if the wicked have not conscious being, how can they have eternal misery? It is now plain to me from God's holy word, "that the wages of sin is death," and that a second death is threatened to the wicked, while the righteous have eternal life promised through Jesus Christ our Mediator and Redeemer.
I am now striving to keep the commandments of God (too much in the letter I fear) that I may be prepared for the coming of our Saviour who will return to those who love his appearing, the second time without sin unto salvation.

Finding the Third Angel’s Message
By Eber M. L. Cory
From E. M. L. Cory.
BELOVED BRO. WHITE:—I feel thankful that I ever heard the sound of the third angel's message. It pleased the Lord about nine months ago to send one of his messengers into my neighborhood; viz., Elder S. T. Cranson, to give a course of second advent and Sabbath lectures, three of which I attended. I had formerly belonged to the Christian connection, and used to take the Christian Palladium, in which paper I had read considerable on the subject of Christ's second advent, especially during the latter part of Eld. Joseph Marsh's administration of that sheet, but among it all I never found any thing that I could so readily endorse as the explanation of the Sanctuary, which so satisfactorily accounts for Bro. Miller's disappointment in not meeting the Saviour in 1844; though I never felt disposed to deny or question the doctrine that Christ would at some point in time re-visit this earth; for several passages in the New Testament plainly inform us of that fact. Though I was immediately convinced on hearing Bro. Cranson lecture, that the Sabbath had never been changed by divine authority, but by papal, or human; yet, so strong is the power of custom, that I did not practically yield to my convictions of the truth (that the seventh day of the week was designed by the Creator from the beginning to be kept as the Sabbath until the end of time) until the 29th of April or nine weeks from the time that I heard the lectures. My brother, who became convinced at the same time, commenced keeping the Sabbath immediately.
I feel determined henceforth while I dwell in this turbulent world, to try to keep ALL of God's commandments and the faith of Jesus.
I have been a reader since last Spring of the Review and Herald and the Youth's Instructor, and am well entertained with their contents. How it cheers and encourages me to perseverance in the christian warfare to read the communications from the dear brethren and sisters in different parts of the country, wherein I can learn the state of the cause of present truth in their several vicinities; also their hopes, fears, and determinations. May the Lord help us all to be faithful in the discharge of every known duty, and constantly watchful that that day overtake us not as a thief.
Yours in hope of eternal life.

A Welcome Messenger and Sabbath Faith
By Solomon Bruce
From Bro. Bruce.
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—The Review comes to me a welcome messenger. It has been the means of opening the Scriptures to my understanding, and my prayer is that it may be sustained. I was formerly a member of the Methodist Church, but have been a believer in the second advent near at hand, for twelve or thirteen years, and I am still waiting with patience to see my Saviour coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. I have been keeping the Sabbath since the first of last June. Brethren and sisters, pray for us. SOLOMON BRUCE.

Purity and the Remnant
By A. P. Lawton
From Sr. Lawton.
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—We are glad indeed to learn through the Review that you are comfortable. If the prayers of the lonely sheep scattered abroad prevail with the great Shepherd, your life, health, peace, and purity will be preserved. The harvest truly is great, and the laborers are few. My prayer is, Lord! send forth laborers into the harvest.
I see and feel the importance of purity with the remnant. The eyes of the world are upon us. They watch for our halting, and eat our words as they would bread. We must be pure, our own poor hearts, the world, the church, and the cause of the dear Saviour demand it. There are five in this place who have embraced the third angel's message recently, and are trying to keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
My husband, his brother's wife, and myself, are all who usually meet on the Sabbath personally, yet, the form of the fourth has never failed to grace our meetings with his presence. O how unworthy of such condescensions. He permits our poor hearts to drink of the pure river of life. Glory to God in the highest; I have felt within a few months, that I was caught away a little with Christ, and did indeed feed on the heritage of Jacob. We had a short visit from Bro. Holt a few days since, through whom we were greatly encouraged and strengthened. We are anxiously waiting and watching the openings for the messengers to labor in this community in word and in doctrine.
Your sister patiently waiting for the coming of the Just One.

Finding Peace in Sabbath Keeping
By Selinda Carly
From Sr. Carly.
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I can truly say thus far the Lord has been my helper. When I look back on my past experience and see how the Lord opened the way for me to keep the commandments; I feel to praise his name. When I first became interested in the truth it seemed almost impossible for me to keep the Sabbath. But I felt it was truth and I must obey. But still I neglected it. Opposition and pride kept me back. O how unhappy I was. I soon found there was happiness for me in no other way but in obeying God, and finally came to the conclusion that I must keep the Sabbath. O what peace and happiness then came into my soul. The Bible became my companion by day and by night. Praise the name of the Lord.
I thought I could make my friends and neighbors see as I did, but soon found they turned a deaf ear to what I had to say. There are but two in this town that keep the Sabbath. I feel lonely, but I am happy. I have never heard but one lecture on the Sabbath. Sr. Harvey sends me now and then the Review, which I receive as a welcome messenger, but as she lives some ways from here I do not get them often. I cannot get along without them. Will you please send the Review to me?
Your unworthy sister striving to keep all of God's commandments. SELINDA CARLY.

Encouragement in Keeping God’s Commandments
By Jonathan Chase
From Bro. Chase.
DEAR BRO. WHITE :—As it has been almost three years since I began to keep all of God's commandments, and never as yet have written to you. I would at this time write a few lines to inform you and the brethren of like precious faith that I am still striving to be an overcomer by doing the will of God, and we are informed in the Scriptures that it is his will that we keep his commandments, not nine only, but the ten.
I thank God that the Review was ever sent to me. It brought such a flood of light on the Scriptures to my understanding, especially on the Sanctuary and 2300 days, and on the Sabbath of the Lord our God. When I read the letters from the brethren scattered abroad, it encourages me. I hope the paper will be sustained. Notwithstanding I have no opportunity of meeting with the commandment-keepers to worship God, by his grace I will try so to live as to meet you in a better world.
Your brother, striving for the kingdom.

From Bro. Richmond.
Bro. White:—Enclosed you will find one dollar for the Review. I have received it the past year gratis, for which I feel truly thankful. It has come as a welcome messenger to us, and I trust it has not come in vain. There are a few here that keep the Sabbath, and are striving to keep all the commandments. Pray for us that we may hold fast that which is good, and strive to enter into the New Jerusalem.

Extracts of Letters.
By Editor
WE have room for only a few short extracts from some of the many communications which we have on hand.
Sr. Averill of Rouse's Point, writes, Feb. 15th, 1855:—"The Review is needed every week to benefit the household of truth. I verily believe there are means enough among the brethren to have it issued as often. May each one ask himself the question, Am I a faithful steward of the Lord's treasury, and act in view of a speedy judgment?"
I think the cause is gaining ground in this section. Last Sabbath and First-day, brother Sperry was with us, to speak the word, and to break the bread of life. We had a profitable season, the Lord was with us by his Spirit to own and bless. Such seasons the church here know how to appreciate. We are few in number, but love and unity reign among us, the enemy as yet has not been able to break our ranks. May we continue in the unity of the faith, rooted and grounded in the truth, till Christ shall come, is the prayer of your unworthy sister in Christ."
Sr. Shoud writes from Birmingham, Feb. 18th, 1855:—"The signs of the times plainly show to us that some event is just upon us. In view of these things, 'What manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness.' The nations of the earth are becoming angry with each other, and all seems to be confusion and opposed to truth. It is said, 'nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.' This is plainly exemplified at the east. It is not only one or two nations that are at variance, but almost every nation of the European continent. The war has commenced and when it will end is more than we are able to say. It may last until 'He whose right it is shall reign.'"
Bro. L. Kellogg, from Jackson, Mich., writes:—"I hope the time will soon come when the expenses of the Office will be met so that the Review will come weekly without fail. It comes laden with its rich fruits which is food indeed to the hungry soul. The Review we must have, and I believe there is heart enough in the cause to sustain it. I believe that the interest is increasing, as far as my acquaintance extends. I feel that it is a cause that we need not fear to invest all that we have in."
Bro. J. Hamilton writes from Marquette Co., Wis.:—"I left my home the 7th of Dec. to visit a brother in Wis., whom I had not seen for many years. Although I had labored hard to show him the importance of keeping all the commandments of God, and feeling that my labor was not altogether in vain, I started on this long journey to try to do him and others good; and I feel that the Spirit of the Lord has been with me and blessed my feeble efforts to do good. My dear brother and his companion, as I humbly trust, have seen the light and have felt the power of God's Word, and are rejoicing while they strive to keep all the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. I find here and there one of God's devoted, praying, humble, watching children. Oh how precious to the lonely pilgrim to meet such. He feels to thank God and take courage."
Bro. R. B. Kellogg writes from Dane Co., Wis.:—"There are quite a goodly number here that are keeping the commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus. Of late four more have embraced the present truth by putting on Christ by baptism. We had a joyful season here last month with Bro. W. Phelps, and it has made a lasting impression on some others. The third angel's message is making its way in this benighted region, and I long for the time when we shall see our Lord coming on the white cloud to receive his dear children home. O let us prove faithful to the end of the race."
Bro. H. S. Giddings writes from Green Vale, Ill., Feb. 9th, 1855:—"A Methodist Minister, on his way to a small town about six miles from this place, to meet with his brethren on Sunday, called on us to attend our Sabbath evening meeting. At the close of our meeting he confessed that he saw some truth, and said that he should scan it closely. He stayed over night and spent the Sabbath with us, and at the close of our meeting he said it looked clearer to him than at first. He remained with us till evening, and in the prayer circle God poured out a blessing upon us all, and he frankly confessed that God's commandments were binding on us, the fourth not excepted, and that he should henceforth do and teach them. On Sunday morning instead of going to pay homage to the institution of the beast, he returned home rejoicing that whereas he was blind he could now see. His family are with him rejoicing in the present truth. There is an inquiry in the minds of the people concerning our present position. The way is open for the truth to be laid before them."
Bro. Jno. Harroun writes from Fond du Lac Co., Wis.:—"It has now been about one year since I commenced keeping the commandments of God, and I feel more determined than ever not to grow weary in well doing. I am scoffed and laughed at almost daily for commencing my labor on the first day of the week, and trying to keep the seventh, (called keeping Saturday for Sunday.) There are a great many spiritualists in this part of Wisconsin. They have very little regard for the Bible unless it is once in a while a passage that suits their notion of things. I believe that 1 Tim. iv, 1-3, and 2 Tim. iii, 1-8, is being fulfilled in these last days. In one of their meetings a few evenings since, their speaker said that all the miracles that were wrought by Christ and the apostles could be accounted for by or through the science of psychology, mesmerism, &c.; but we know if they speak not according to the word (the Bible) it is because there is no light in them."
Pressing Forward in Hope
By George P. Cushman
From Bro. Cushman.
DEAR BRO. WHITE :—It is through the goodness of God that I am spared and have hope in his mercy, and can yet see a harmony in the Scriptures of divine truth, and am endeavoring to make my way onward. I prize the Review very much, and hope it will continue to be a beacon light to the remnant. I am glad to hear that the cause is progressing in some places. There is not much interest felt here on the subject, none inquiring for the old paths to dwell in, as I could wish. I am sometimes cast down, but I mean by the grace of God to press my way through. I want to see how it looks in bright glory. I want to be hid in the day of the Lord's anger, when he riseth up to the prey.
Yours in hope of immortality when Jesus comes. GEO. P. CUSHMAN.

Progress of the Present Truth
By E. L. Barr
From Bro. Barr.
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I do rejoice that the present truth is making some little progress, and that the saints begin to realize the importance of following the Lord wholly.
Since I wrote you last the Lord has revived his work in the church at Brewer. Four have started with the commandment-keepers for the kingdom. May the Lord enable them to endure hardness as good soldiers and persevere to the end. The severe trials that have bound some, seem to be passing off, and all were seeking for a deeper work of grace and resolved to be faithful for the future so as to be found of him in peace without spot and blameless. We held some very interesting meetings at Holden and hope that some there will honor the Lord by doing those things they believe he justly requires of them.
At Bradley the way seemed to be hedged up by the new time influence. My prayer is that the honest ones may see how little that doctrine has done towards cleansing its advocates from all filthiness of the flesh, and perfecting holiness in the fear of the Lord. Two at Bradford that have formerly been believers in the third angel's message, have given up keeping the Sabbath, having embraced the new time. We held three meetings there on Sabbath and also on First-day; and notwithstanding the bad influence that has been exerted by some against the truth, there are others that begin to see that if they would enter into life they must keep the commandments. May the Lord help them to do it, and also the few that now profess it, to adorn that profession with a well ordered life and a godly conversation.
Now, dear brethren, let me say in conclusion, be sober, be vigilant: the dangers thicken as we near the harbor, although the conflict will shortly be o'er yet there are many trials, fiery trials, that await the dear saints of God before they reach that glorious rest; therefore watch and pray. Pray fervently one for another. Pray for the servants of God sent out with the solemn message of the third angel. Ask God in your closets and at your family altars, evening and morning, to deliver them from unreasonable and wicked men, and give them wisdom to rightly divide the word of life and give to each a portion in due season.
Yours, hoping to reign with him after the suffering time is over.

Sabbath Keepers in Hubbardston
By Joseph Bates
From Bro. Bates.
Dear Bro. White :—Since my last meeting with our brethren in Fairhaven, Mass., I have visited Berlin, Conn., also Springfield, Worcester, and this place in Mass., where I have been holding meetings for several days past. While in Springfield, I learned from the brethren that several brethren in this place (Hubbardston) had recently commenced keeping the weekly Sabbath of the Bible. On my arrival here I learned that their ministers (the timeists) had been laboring to show them that they had taken a wrong position. One has been added to their number since we commenced our meetings, and others we trust will unite with them. They are hungry for all the present truth. The paper and tracts which Bro. and Sr. Haskell sent for, (see Review, No. 22,) have come to hand, and they are reading with interest, and ask why it is, that we have never seen the light on these important subjects before. They are anxious to have all the tracts that teach our Bible position, and in another place you have their names for the Review, and Youth's Instructor. My labors close here this evening. From this I think of proceeding northward to Vt. and N. H.
