Mrs. M. Ashbaugh writes from Dundee, Ills : "Four years ago, just after the death of my last daughter, a lovely girl of eighteen, I began to read the Review, and it has been my greatest comforter ever since. I have been keeping the Sabbath for three years all alone. I find some inconvenience, but have great reason to be thankful that I meet no persecution. I have met with a woman and her two daughters who heard Bro. Miller preach, and were interested in the cause, but had forgotten all about it. They never heard of the Sabbath movement until reading my papers. They have commenced keeping the Sabbath. Besides them, I never saw but one Adventist. I am happy to hear of the progress of truth in Iowa, but pained at heart that we here in Illinois are seemingly left out of sight. I had fondly hoped that some of the brethren going west would give us a call. I hope some who travel on the Chicago and Galena road will think of it and see if they have not got a message for us here on Fox River. If they will drop a line to me a few days beforehand at Dundee, they shall be met there, or at Gilbert's or Huntley's station, and brought to our place, and used as well as we are able to do, and carried back to the road when they wish. My heart's desire and prayer is for the prosperity of Zion, and that I may live to see the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
A Call for Messengers
Bro, L. Adams writes from Sharpsville, Ind.: We are deprived of the privilege of contending for the faith in the church professing to be Christians or disciples. My desire is that some of the friends or messengers would come here. Several here are tired of living as we are at present, and we know that it is dangerous to remain under condemnation, which is the transgression of God's law. We desire to be ready for translation when the Son of God shall appear. We are fully convinced from what we have read and heard, that the Adventists are contending for the faith once delivered to the saints.”
Growth at Little Prairie
Bro. J. W. Blake writes from Little Prairie, Wis. :
“I have great reason to praise God for the manifold mercies which he is bestowing upon me. I was led to see God's ways without a preacher. The Bible was my schoolmaster to bring me to Christ. About five months ago I made up my mind to obey God, and meet with the brethren and sisters on God's holy day, to worship him. There were then seven, but now we have about twenty-five who are trying to obey God and gain an entrance into the holy city at last. There is a great work to be done, and we should be up and doing, and gird on the whole armor, and go forth into battle, determined to conquer though we die; for great is our reward. What are the scoffs and scorn we meet, compared to eternal life? The Saviour has said that in the last days scoffers would arise and say, Where is the promise of his coming? But let us pray for those who persecute and revile us.”

By Editor
L. B., of Va. : In regard to your query whether it is proper to lend tools to be used on the Sabbath, it looks to us that when the neighbors of a Sabbath-keeper, knowing his feelings and practice in regard to the Sabbath, come to him to borrow tools of him to be used on the Sabbath, they show a disrespect for his views and feelings which releases him from all obligation to accommodate them. As we would not act thus towards a Sunday-keeper, that is, would not seek to borrow of a strenuous observer of the first day, tools to be used on that day which he regards as the Sabbath, so we think they ought to have an equal respect for us, and if they do not, we see not how they can blame us for not accommodating them. In regard to the commencement of the day, we think that the Bible is explicit that it begins and ends at the setting of the sun.
E. I., of Mich. : The ten commandments are called in Ex. xxxiv, 28, the words of the covenant, that part of the covenant which the people were bound to perform. The covenant in full is brought to view in Ex. xix, as an agreement between God and the people; they agreeing to obey his voice, or keep the ten commandments, and he agreeing on these conditions to make them a peculiar treasure unto him above all people. When the people therefore broke the ten commandments, they broke the covenant, as they failed to fulfill their part of the stipulation; and as that covenant made no provision for the forgiveness of sin, or for the replacing of the transgressor, they forever forfeited all their claims under that covenant. Hence the necessity of a new covenant which would embrace in its provisions, the forgiveness of sin. But as the law was the basis of the old covenant, so also is it of the new.
To the Brethren in New York.

FELING that the brethren in Franklin and St. Lawrence Cos., may be interested to learn of my safe arrival and warm reception among the brethren in Battle Creek, I take this method of informing them that through the goodness of our heavenly Father I have been prospered in my journey hither. I still desire to be remembered in your prayers, as I feel I have been hitherto.
Yours in hope of meeting again.
