Another Word from the New York Camp-Meeting.

By Isadore Green

It has been my privilege to attend our late camp-meeting which has but just closed. In the providence of God it was a very interesting occasion, notable for the searching of heart. “Our sins like mountains rose before us.” The testimonies borne, with hardly an exception, showed that the Spirit was in our midst, causing us to see our departures and neglects. Tears and confessions gave evidence of returning to God, and the promise was verified, “Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.” Each one felt to heed the admonition not to confess the sins of others, but to discharge individual responsibility; and, thank God, each one felt convicted of his own errors.

May this spirit abide with us at our homes, then will the servants of God be saved many trials and burdens, and the church come up in the favor of God. If we faithfully search out our sins, and exterminate them fully from our hearts, it will make room for a spirit of labor and self-sacrifice, and we will be enabled to help swell the loud cry of the third message, and share at last in the blessings of the redeemed. We then can see a literal answer to the cry for laborers, yet in a far different manner than many of us anticipated. Truly, how wise is God in all his purposes, especially in transmitting to us all a sphere in which to labor.

The Tract and Missionary Society recommends itself to every believing heart. It was set before us in a very acceptable manner by Bro. Haskell, and made very interesting by his relating a part of the life of sister H. More, showing, from personal acquaintance, her devotion and unremitting labor.

And again was the mirror of life held up before us by Bro. Butler in giving us the biography of Job. I think the view presented to each one of us, as we beheld our murmurings and lack of the Christian grace that sustained him through so many trials and deep calamities, was anything but flattering to us. As he expatiated on his virtues, his unprecedented patience, while suffering in the hands of Satan, clad in garments of humility, literally covered with sores and clothed with worms and clods of dust, bereft of every earthly blessing, and forsaken by the wife of his bosom, and annoyed by false accusers and the contempt of the children in the streets; yet he retained his integrity. No greater rebuke is chronicled in the Sacred Book than the life of Job and the question asked by God of Satan, if he had “considered Job that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil,” reflecting upon the author of all sin his past course, his rebellion and fall, his untiring efforts to destroy precious souls. I say again, thinking I speak safely, We all felt ashamed, and saw ourselves as never before. The mirror was true to its design, reflecting our utter unworthiness. Now, let it not be truly said of us that we are like unto a man who beholds his face in a glass, and straightway forgetteth what manner of person he is, but let us try to get a view each day, scrutinizing each act in the light of the Judgment.

Our hearts were inspired to hope, and were encouraged, by the love and esteem that Christ maintains toward those who do the will of his Father. The family ties and bonds of love that exist in the hearts of brother and sister, the undying and unselfish love of the maternal heart, were most beautifully and aptly illustrated by the speaker.

Again were our hearts re-animated and cheered on Sabbath between the hours of public service to be assured beyond a doubt that the gifts, placed in the church as a wise provision from God, yet remain to bless his people, and will, until the last days. If any present had ever suffered from doubts, they must have been banished, as the evidence produced made this point in our faith invulnerable. The application made to this people made an impression. We could plainly see our neglect in reading and meditating.

Our meeting closed Monday evening with a social meeting which was by many considered the best, and thus was another yearly gathering closed, making one the less, and adding to us new responsibilities. Who of us will improve them, or attend the next, or, more to be desired than all this, who will be gathered with the saints upon Mount Zion?

Hope.

Is there a person in the land that can truthfully say, “I have nothing to look forward to,” or, in other words, “I have no hope”? If such there be, God pity them: for life to them must be dreary. They can only look on the dark side, and everything is so dreary and gloomy that they must be perfectly miserable! But need this be the case? Can we not be happy if we choose? Do we not all know that this world is a world of trouble if we have a mind to give up to it and let every misfortune mar our happiness? Of course, we have troubles that others know not of; but do not others have troubles we know nothing about? Then let us make the best of it, cheer up and be happy. Let us look through this vale of tears, to the home that is promised us in a brighter world than this. “Hope on, hope ever.”

Praise Ye the Lord.

By L. E. Millne

GLOOMY, and dark, and long, the night has been, and tears, and sighs, and groans, have been our portion here; but, glory to the Lamb that was slain, the bright eternal morn appears. Already its bright beams are seen in the distant horizon.

Mourning pilgrims, lift your heads. Banish sorrow and sighing. Lift your heads and rejoice. Soon will you see the King in his beauty, with all the shining angel hosts attending.

The trumpet of God shall sound, and the long-promised Redeemer shall come. Our salvation is drawing nearer. Weary pilgrims, up and adorn thee. Bridal robes are awaiting thee. Come, for all things are ready, the feast is preparing. Come, and welcome, without money and without price, is the gracious invitation.

“Onward then! not long I wander Ere my Saviour comes for me, And with him abiding yonder, All his glory I shall see. Oh! the music and the singing Of the hosts redeemed by love. Oh! the hallelujahs ringing Through the halls of light above.”

Council Bluffs, Iowa. L. E. MILLNE.

Infamy Is Not Erased by Time

WHAT is once spotted with infamy can hardly be worn out with time.

A PARENT'S PRAYER.

The following lines were published a few years since. The article is one of uncommon beauty and excellence, and will find a ready and warm response from every Christian parent:

At this hushed hour, when all my children sleep, Here in thy presence, gracious God, I kneel, And while the tears of gratitude I weep, Would pour the prayer which gratitude must feel. Parental love! O set thy holy seal On these soft hearts, which thou to me hast sent, Repel temptation, guard their better weal, Be thy pure Spirit to their frailty lent, And lead them in the path their infant Saviour went.

I ask not for them eminence or wealth, For these, in Wisdom's view, are trifling toys; But occupation, competence, and health, Thy love, thy presence, and the lasting joys That flow therefrom; the passion which employs The breasts of holy men, and thus to be From all that taints, or darkens, or destroys; The strength of principle, forever free;— This is the better boon, O God, I ask of thee.

This world, I know, is but a narrow ridge, And treacherous waters roar and foam below; With feeble feet we walk the wooden bridge, Which creaks and shakes beneath us as we go, Some fall by accident, and thousands throw Their bodies headlong in the angry stream. Some sink by secret means, and never know The hand which struck them in their transient dream, Till Wisdom wakes in death, and in despair they scream.

If these soft feet, which now these feathers press Are doomed the path of ruin soon to tread, If vice, concealed, on her unspotted dress, Is soon to turn to her polluted bed— If thy foreseeing eye discerns a thread Of sable guilt impending on their doom, O spare them not—in mercy strike them dead, Prepare for them an early welcome tomb, Not for eternal blight, let my false blossoms bloom.

But if some useful path before them lie, Where they may walk obedient to thy laws, Though never basking in ambition's eye, And pampered never with the world's applause, Active, yet humble, virtuous too, the cause Of virtue in the dwellings where they dwell, Still following where thy perfect Spirit draws, Releasing others from the bands of hell— If this be life, then let them longer live, ’tis well.

And teach me, Power Supreme, in their green days, With meekest skill thy lesson to impart, To shun the harlot, and to show the maze Through which her honied accents reached the heart; Help them to learn without the bitter smart Of sad experience, vices to decline; From treachery, falsehood, knavery, may they start As from a hidden snake, from woman, wine, From all the guilty scenes with which such snares combine.

How soft they sleep; what innocent repose Rests on their eyes, from older sorrows free! Sweet babes, the curtain I would not unclose, Which wraps the future from their minds and me. But, heavenly Father, leaving them with thee— Whether or high or low may be their lot, Or early death or life await them—be Their Guardian, Saviour, Guide, and bless the spot Where they shall live or die; till death, forsake them not.

Though persecutions arches o'er them spread, Or sickness undermine, consuming slow, Though they should lead the life their Saviour led, And his deep poverty be doomed to know, Whatever thou shalt order, let them go; I give them up to thee, they are not mine; And I could call the swiftest winds to blow, To bear them from me, to the pole or line, In distant lands to plant the gospel's bleeding shrine.

When as a scroll these heavens shall pass away, When the old grave shall offer up its trust, When seas shall burn, and the last dreadful day Restores existence to the scatter'd dust, Then, Thou, most merciful, as well as just Let not my eye, when elements are tossed In wild confusion, see that darkest, worst, Of painful sights, that ever parent crossed— Hear my sad, earnest prayer, and let not mine be lost. —Rev. L. Withington.

Denying the Lord.

It is a fatal mistake to suppose that there can be no apostasy from Christ where we are not absolutely called on to deny his name or to burn incense to an idol. We deny our Lord whenever, like Demas, we, through love of this present world, forsake the course of duty which Christ has plainly pointed out to us. We deny our Lord whenever we lend the sanction of our countenance, our praise, or even our silence, to measures or opinions which may be popular or fashionable, but which we ourselves believe to be sinful in themselves or tending to sin. We deny our Lord whenever we forsake a good man in affliction, and refuse to give countenance, encouragement and support to those who, for God's sake, and for the faithful discharge of their duty, are exposed to persecution and slander. Alas! many there are of whom it may be said, “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”—Titus 1:16.—The Christian.

The Lord Will Provide.

In a village near Warsaw, there lived a pious peasant, by name Dobry. Without any fault of his own, he had fallen into arrear with his rent, and the landlord determined to turn him out. It was winter, and evening, and the next day he was to be turned out, with all his family. As they sat in their sorrow, Dobry knelt down in their midst, and they sang:

“Commit thou all thy griefs And ways into His hands.”

Just as they came to the last verse—

“When thou wouldst all our need supply, Who then shall stay thy hand ?”

there was a knock at the window. It was an old friend, a raven, that Dobry’s grandfather had taken out of the nest and tamed and then set at liberty. Dobry opened the window, the raven hopped in, and in his bill there was a ring, set with precious stones. Dobry thought he would sell the ring; but he thought again that he would take and show it to his minister; and he, who saw at once, by the crest, that it belonged to king Stanislaus, took it to him, and related the story. The king sent for Dobry, and rewarded him so that he was no more in need; and the next year built him a new house, and gave him cattle from his own herd; and over the house-door there is an iron tablet whereon is carved a raven with a ring in his beak, and underneath the verse—

“Thou everywhere hast sway, And all things serve thy might; Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light!” —Exchange.

Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, in North Kingstown, Washington Co., R. I., May 1, 1872, of paralysis, my dear father, Judge Harris Smith, aged sixty-nine years, seven months, and fifteen days. The deceased had been an active business man during the larger part of life, and, although he transacted business with credit to himself and satisfaction to others, yet he neglected the great plan of salvation, and his soul's welfare, till late in life. During his last sickness, which lasted over three years, he was convicted of sin and converted to the religion of Jesus. Nearly a year before his decease, through the efforts of one who used to read the Bible and publications of the Seventh-day Adventists to him, he acknowledged the true Sabbath, and ever after ably defended it. His faith in God was strong, and his heart overflowed with gratitude to him. His love to his Maker was manifested in a remarkable degree to all who cared for and called on him during his years of confinement.

His funeral discourse was preached from 1 Thess. 4: 13, 14. HATTIE S. SMITH.

OUR dear sister Almena Perry died recently, aged twenty-nine years. She endured a painful sickness for many months, which finally terminated in an abscess. Sister Almena was daughter of Bro. Johnson, deceased. She embraced the present truth under the labors of Bro. Waggoner many years ago, and adorned her profession with a godly life. She has passed quietly away, leaving a husband and three little boys to mourn, besides a Christian mother and grown up brothers and sisters. Oh! that they would but imitate her godly example, and thus with her have everlasting life in the soon-coming kingdom. R. M. THURSTON.

DIED, Aug. 4, 1872, at the residence of her son, in Rives, Jackson Co., Mich., of inflamed lungs, Frances Dunham, mother of Bro. G. G. Dunham, in the eighty-third year of her age. A comforting discourse was given by Bro. A. J. Richmond, to a large and attentive audience, from Job 14: 14. J. E. TITUS.

Address to the Friends in Indiana.

By Wm. Covert

PERHAPS it will be necessary for me to say a few words concerning our camp-meeting. I am aware that it is farther from the railroad than it should be if railroad convenience is the only or chief thing to be considered. The friends in our part of the State protest against taking it to Kokomo, as there is no one there to take a special interest. And if there was, we know of no suitable ground that we can get. We tried hard to get the ground occupied last year, but failed. We think we have selected the best place that we can get. At this place we have plenty of water for all purposes, and a good grove, in a good neighborhood, among the brethren who will take a special interest in fitting up the grounds and in caring for those from a distance. We are certain that we can give better accommodations here than we could to take the meeting away from the brethren merely to get near a railroad. But we will be glad to convey a good many loads of brethren and friends to the ground free of charge. Come the 18th if possible. We think we can have much better order by being removed from city loafers. Besides, the interest to hear is so deep in this part of the country, we feel confident it is the right place.

Bro. Elbert, and Bro. S. H., Lane held a tent meeting at Burlington, six miles from here, two years ago, but had to close before the test was fairly made. And at New London, three miles away, there is a similar interest. At Middle-Fork, nine miles distant, they are calling loudly for labor; besides there are publications and tracts scattered in every direction that will bring their possessors to our Feast of Tabernacles. Then come one, come all. Come, praying that God will meet us with his Holy Spirit, and that the cause in Indiana may rise with the message and gather many precious souls into a saving knowledge of the truth.

We expect the first Indiana Conference will be held in connection with this meeting. Then don’t let one that has any interest in the cause stay away from this meeting. We shall need both money and counsel. Then come prepared to work. We would like two tent companies from Owen Co., one from Henry, and perhaps North Liberty can bring two. It would be well for those companies to elect their tent-masters and send them one day in advance—say Tuesday—you will find it to your advantage. If any of you do this, just send notice and we will wait on you.

One Word More.

By Editor

This is the last number of the Review that will reach our subscribers in this State before the camp-meeting. If it falls into the hands of any who have decided not to come to the meeting, we would earnestly say, Reverse that decision, and from this moment decide to come. Make worldly interests this time bend to spiritual. Blessings are more easily lost than gained. We need the help of every such occasion as we enjoy at our camp-meetings. And bring your unconverted friends. Read Bro. Butler’s report of the N. Y. camp-meeting in this number.

Save Time.

By MICH. CONF. COMMITTEE.

With as little confusion, and little delay as possible, we want to get into effectual working order at our camp-meeting. Two things will help greatly toward this result.

First, let each church, where they can, choose their tent-master or tent-masters in advance, and let these come on beforehand with the tents and pitch them, ready for the main company to take possession of as soon as they reach the ground.

Secondly, and more than all else, let every one by meditation, prayer, deep searching of heart, a consideration of our position and work, and the wants of the cause, drink anew into the spirit of the message, and so get into working order before he comes. Much time and hard labor are usually expended in the first part of the meeting to bring the church up into condition to labor. But if all, or a majority even, could come to the meeting, already in this condition, labor from the first could be devoted to others.

To those who receive this paper in season, we suggest that Sabbath, Aug. 31, be made a special day of seeking the Lord in preparation for the coming camp-meeting.

MICH. CONF. COMMITTEE.

An Earnest Appeal.

The following urgent call for help, recently received from Tennessee, is a specimen of the anxiety that exists in many parts of the country to listen to the truths we have to present. Who can read such appeals and not feel his heart stirred within him, and not feel either like giving himself to the work, or at least of beseeching with greater earnestness the Lord of the harvest to send forth more laborers into the field.

We would that efficient laborers could be had to respond immediately to this call, and go to the assistance of these friends. Perhaps something can be done for them the coming fall. Meanwhile we extend to them the hand of sympathy, and bid them, in the name of the Lord, to hold on till help shall come. The writer is J. A. Remley, agent of the L. and N. R. R., Davidson Co., near Nashville. He says:—

BRETHREN OF THE REVIEW AND HERALD. Many citizens here are inquiring of me, Why do you not have a preacher; we want to hear more of that doctrine? All I can say is that we have done all we could to get one. We have earnestly requested Eld. Lane to return and finish up the work he commenced here, and we have petitioned Conference with numerous signers, and some of them men of influence, to send us a minister.

And now in behalf of many citizens, I write to all whom it may concern, that we deeply feel an interest in the great Bible truths proclaimed here by Eld. E. B. Lane, and would, through your paper, earnestly inquire of the church at large, Is there no one to help us? Must we still grope in darkness, and be tossed about with every wind of doctrine?

We know the harvest is great and the laborers are few; and if there is none for us, we would plead for the prayers of the faithful, that we may not be numbered among those that are lost in sight of the holy city.

If there are any that can come, we will furnish money to bring them here and return, believing that much good will be done.
