WHEN in her Eden bloom,
Earth's smiling face rejoices,
And God's dear saints to Zion come
With blended hearts and voices ;
Shall I be there ?
When bowed before the throne,
In lowliest adoration,
They strike their harps of sweetest tone
And sing the great salvation ;
Shall I be there ?
When the immortal host,
The golden streets are thronging,
And taste those joys for which they've sought
With ardent hope and longing ;
Shall I be there ?
And when those tearful eyes
Light up with bliss unfading,
And an immortal starry crown
Each sainted brow is shading ;
Shall I be there ?
When Jesus' matchless love
The heavenly choir are singing,
And hallelujahs loud and high,
Are through Heaven's arches ringing ;
Shall I be there ?
Yes, by the grace of God,
And Jesus' loving favor,
This thought shall animate my soul,
And be my purpose ever ;
I will be there.

Animal Food Is Expensive
ANIMAL FOOD IS EXPENSIVE.—One acre of ground will produce three thousand pounds of corn; eighty per cent. or 2,400 pounds of this is nutriment. The corn fed to hogs will not make over one thousand pounds of meat, and only forty per cent. or four hundred pounds of this is nutriment, and this is too liberal a calculation. This is a very great loss, and not at all encouraging to pork raising.
Corn meal will cost about two cents per pound, and wheat flour three and one half cents, while animal flesh costs from ten to twenty cents per pound. The first contains one hundred per cent. more nutriment, while the latter costs five times as much.—The Reformer.

Sister A. was exemplary in all the walks of life. An earnest devoted Christian, her loss is deeply felt in the church of which she was a valuable member. She has been afflicted for about 18 years, and for some days befor her death suffered much. She rests in hope. Her faith in the near-coming of Jesus and the resurrection was firm. According to her request I attended the funeral, and spoke from 1 Thess. iv. J. H. W.

Missionary Fund.
By Gen. Conf. Committee.
THE missionary effort put forth the present season, especially in the East, calls for liberality on the part of the friends of present truth, East and West. We therefore call on all those who feel it a duty and a pleasure to sustain the cause, to donate at their first opportunity to the Missionary Fund, more or less, as the importance of the object demands, and the ability of the donors justifies.
Those in New England who pledged their Systematic Benevolence funds to sustain the Eastern Mission are requested to send in immediately as large remittances as convenient. Address Eld. James White, Battle Creek, Mich.
GEN. CONF. COMMITTEE.

Reordination of Deacons as Elders
By Editor
H. N. of Iowa. We think that an individual holding the office of a deacon, and then being elected to the office of elder, should be re-ordained, but see no objection to his performing the office of elder until an opportunity presents itself for his being thus ordained.
Taking Mail on the Sabbath
By Editor
A Correspondent inquires whether it is right to take mail from the post-office on the Sabbath. In some instances it might be justifiable, though when one case of this kind would occur, there would be fifty where it would be in our view wholly unjustifiable. We can set no stakes on this point. Be sure that you have an enlightend conscience, and then let that and the circumstances of the case decide the question.
Questions Governed by Circumstances
By Editor
CORRESPONDENTS frequently write asking us questions concerning various matters, which we are unable to answer without knowing the circumstances of the case. They will please remember that almost every case is more or less altered by circumstances, and that some are wholly governed by them. They will not therefore attribute it to indifference on our part, but simply that we are not able to make up our mind as to the matter of their inquiries, as the reason why many of them receive no response.
