CRUMBS OF COMFORT.
By Charles P. Whitford
THE cheering news that we receive in response to missionary labor is too good for us to enjoy all alone. We therefore give a few extracts from letters received, hoping that thereby our missionary workers may have their faith and zeal increased to labor on in this great and glorious cause. A gentleman writes as follows: “Those books and papers came safely. I have been reading them with much interest. They are filled with sublime and interesting matter. I hope to read them through, and then write you again.” Another: “Please receive my many thanks for the unmerited favor of books. I spend most of my time in reading and studying them, and think the doctrines they teach must be the truth. I am convinced from the plain Scripture testimony referred to in the tract, ‘Which Day do you Keep, and Why?’ Oh! why have people been so deceived? Why will they love error?” A gentleman in Virginia writes as follows: “I received the papers you sent me, and am very much interested in reading them, and wish you would send more.” A first-day Adventist from New Hampshire writes: “I thank, I praise the Lord for his mercy and his loving kindness to me in that he put it into your heart to call my attention to the subject of obedience to his commands, as you have done. I never before saw my duty in the light that I now see it, and I never understood it so before. I hope henceforth, the Lord being my helper, to keep his Sabbath according to his word, regardless of all worldly considerations or consequences. I wish to do the will of God, and gain eternal life. “I commenced to serve God many years ago. In 1843 I believed Christ was coming; and, though disappointed, I have ever believed the warning was of God. I so believe to-day, and bless his name that I still love his truth. . . . The reports are full of interest—all so good. It seems like 1843 times. Oh how sweet and precious the remembrance of those days of warning and of power, when the world was stirred and moved, almost as by an earthquake. I feel like a pilgrim in this world, and I would be crucified to all its fashions and its customs, and would walk in Jesus’s footsteps.” It is said by Bro. Haskell and others that there has never been a time when the direct results of missionary labor could be seen as at the present time. Where our publications have been extensively circulated, openings for presenting the truth are appearing in a manner which is without a parallel in the history of this cause. A glance at the reports in the REVIEW will show that God is blessing those Conferences the most abundantly where they have taken hold the most readily in this work. Brethren and sisters of Vermont, we want the blessing of God here. We have long been stretching out our hands to the General Conference for efficient laborers to be sent among us. Have we done all that we could to prepare the way for the living preacher by the circulation of books, papers, and tracts? If not, then let us engage heartily in this work. Time is short. Now, there is peace everywhere in our field. Printing is very cheap; postage is almost nothing, and mail facilities are unparalleled. May the Lord help us to work for the spread of the truth while everything is favorable. TO THE V. M. WORKERS IN MAINE.
By Eliza H. Morton
In comparison with other States, Maine is, perhaps, in the back-ground in regard to the tract and missionary work. This “ought not so to be.” In the State of Maine there is talent which should be developed and used in the cause of God. The V. M. societies started about a year ago in this State have done a good work; and although in one of these societies, at least, most of the labor of putting up the papers and corresponding with those receiving them has been done by one or two sisters, yet the work has prospered. A few scattered sisters have kindly sent us from time to time encouraging words, small sums of money, and old papers, for which we thank them. Little favors do much to help lighten the burden. There are in the State of Maine many noble-minded sisters who have never, as yet, realized the amount of good they are capable of doing, and have never had their zeal kindled in the missionary work. O my dear sisters, would that I could write burning words—words that would thrill your very souls, and awaken in your hearts earnest longings for a part in this closing, warning message. Would that I could paint in glowing colors the result of loving, unselfish acts of kindness. Would that I could describe the ineffable glory of the coming harvest, and portray the dazzling splendor of the reward that awaits “those who turn many to righteousness.” Human language is weak, and I can only urge you to begin now, and do what you can to “redeem the time.” If you wish for blessings, work for them. Labor will bring its own reward. The V. M. societies need your assistance. Write to us, and send us names and money. We need means; our hands are tied for want of what you can send without ever missing it. A few cents may be instrumental in saving a few souls. Who can estimate the result of the smallest offering? The following extracts from letters received by the Allen’s Corner V. M. Society tend to show how the truth is received by the people. A gentleman from Brownfield writes: “I have been carefully reading the SIGNS OF THE TIMES and the tracts you sent, and I cannot find words to express my thanks for them. I think they are founded on sound doctrine, and if we would all heed their warning we could not fail to grow wiser and better in the sight of God.” A gentleman from Bath writes: “I have been much interested in the papers you sent. Any other reading matter of like description that you may choose to send I will read and circulate. I am convinced that there are grand and glorious truths revealed in the word of God, that are sadly overlooked in these days.” A lady from California writes: “I feel thankful for the tracts you sent. I have been taught that Sunday should be kept holy, but I shall try to get more light on the subject.” A gentleman from Anson writes: “The paper has been received, and read by my own family and often passed to others for perusal by my wife, who has for some time past strongly sympathized with its sentiments in many respects. We desire to accept truth, and hope that we may clearly see the path of duty.” We have received encouraging letters from Sweden (Europe), and have sent papers to England, Ireland, and Scotland. The work is going with mighty power. The wheel turns swiftly that God’s hand propels, and soon the last, the closing cry will be given and the laboring time be over. “Who, who is there among us” that will respond to the call, and nobly aid in spreading the glorious truth in the Pine Tree State, and, indeed, all over the world? TEMPEST-TOSSED
By Mary Martin
Thou afflicted, tossed with tempest,
Grieved in spirit and alone,
In my wrath I hid a moment,
But my love shall be made known. Hill and mount may pass before thee,
All that thou dost hope or love,
But the Lord hath mercy on thee,
And his peace will not remove. This frail structure of thy rearing,
May go off with ebbing tide;
But a palace shall replace it,
For He says, “I will provide.” Mourn not over loss of hovel,
Roof of thatch and earth-brown floor;
Pearls shall gleam, and sapphires glisten,
Where the low cot stood before. Ah, poor faithless human nature!
How we grovel in the dust,
Though the heavens seem bowed to whisper
Words of cheer and holy trust. Leave the dead past far behind thee,
Link the present in a prayer;
Trust for all the days before thee,
In thy Heavenly Father’s care. So shalt thou, mid shades of evening,
See the dark stream thou hast crossed,
Wonder at thy pain and grieving,—
Paltry price the goal has cost. Packages of Tracts.

The above package embraces the most of our tracts, covering about all the points of our faith. The object of putting them up in packages is that they may be more convenient for sale, or for selection by those who do not know just what they do need. In a course of lectures, such packages go off readily. Indeed, we always sell more this way than any other. First offer the 25-cent package for a few evenings. Then advertise the second package for a while. Finally, state that you have them all in a $1.00 package. Properly managed, a large number of tracts can be sold in this way. Often persons wish an assortment of our tracts worth from 25 cents to $1.00, but leave the Office to select. Here we have them nicely put up, ready to send. Each of the above packages has a printed list on the outside, of the tracts which it contains. They will be sent, post-paid, for the prices named above; or by freight or express, in quantities, at the regular discount on tracts. All the tent companies should have a supply. Of course the smallest package will be called for the most, but the larger ones will be needed more or less. THE FIRST DECADE OF THE CAUSE IN CALIFORNIA.
From an article by Bro. Loughborough in the Signs of Aug. 8, we give the following relative to his ten years' labor in California, and the growth of the cause there during that time: I began this article to speak of ten years,—ten years of my own experience. Those ten years which close this 18th day of July, 1878, I look back upon as the most interesting of any of the twoscore and seven years of my life. Ten years ago to-day, accompanied by Elder Bourdeau, I landed in San Francisco with our sixty-foot tent to commence the work upon this coast. We were strangers. Our doctrines were new to the people, and our people unknown here on the Pacific slope. With God's blessing the work is fairly under way. We have a strong Conference in California with nearly thirty churches, and the North Pacific Conference, which is gaining strength and is destined to be a power in all that Northern region. To-day, the tenth anniversary of my arrival on the Pacific slope, we are erecting our new Nevada tent in Reno city, a railroad center in the very heart of the real financial strength of the State of Nevada. The people treat us most cordially, and express the deepest anxiety to hear. Our prayer is, God bless the Nevada mission. What we see on this coast is only a sample of what I behold in this cause all over the world. Here ten years ago we had no facilities for printing the truth; now we have a well-equipped and thoroughly established publishing house, as large as was demanded for the whole Seventh-day Adventist cause in the world ten years ago. And of our central publishing house in Battle Creek, Michigan, I think I do not over-estimate when I state that the work there has increased tenfold in ten years, and besides these, a publishing house is in full operation in Central Europe. I look at the rank and file of our ministry; ten years ago probably there were not one-tenth as many in the ministry as there are to-day. Of course there has been a corresponding increase of our membership during that same time. But with all this increase in points mentioned, it is truly cheering to look at that feature of our work, the missionary society, which has had its rise among us during the last part of the last ten years, and to see the lay members of our people actively engaging in spreading the truth through the world. The spirit of consecration to the work must increase; it is none too much to hope and believe that it will increase as our people arouse to the demands of the times. Like men in war times, when it was apparent that the nation's cause demanded men, and a call was made for 300,000 more, they did not sit down dejected and sad, and say, Let some one else do the work; but with cheerful action and with zest, they responded in songs that fairly rent the air. They sang, “We are coming, father Abraham, three hundred thousand more.” As we pause a moment on this our individual anniversary day, looking at the past and scanning the future, we feel as though the God of Heaven had made a call to each of us to take hold as never before in this work. Shall we sing and act, “We're coming,” or shall we bury the Lord's talents intrusted to us, and be classed among the slothful servants? If there is that consecration to the work that the truth, the times, and the call of God demand, I do not see why we may not expect to see more done in extending the truth, and in bringing souls to the truth, for the next two years than we have seen accomplished during the whole of the last ten years. The Lord grant it. Reno, Nevada, July 18, 1878.
