Note from Bro. Byington.

By John Byington

I LITTLE thought when leaving home, the 25th inst., to fill my appointment the following Sabbath in Parkville, that it would be the day of the funeral of Sr. Langdon. But so it was. She had earnestly requested that some one of our faith attend her funeral. The friends had removed my appointment from Parkville, to Mendon, trusting Providence to my being there. I felt quite fatigued in riding thirty-five miles the day previous, but felt that the Lord gave strength equal to my day; and I rejoiced that it could be said of the one who had fallen asleep, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.”

On first-day, we had a meeting at Parkville meeting-house. Quite a number were present, though the day was rainy.

J. BYINGTON.

Ceresco, Mich., March, 1870.

From Bro. Bruce.

By Solomon Bruce

Dear Brethren and Sisters: We are trying to serve the Lord, so that, when the trump of God shall sound, we may, with all of the redeemed, have right to the tree of life. Solomon Bruce.

The Seed Sown at Parish

SR. E. DEGARMO, writes from Oswego Co., N. Y.: The seed sown at the tent-meeting in Parish, thirteen years ago, has, with a little labor the present winter, begun to spring up. To God be all the glory. May the work continue to increase, is my earnest prayer.

From Bro. Hoover.

By A. A. Hoover

HAVING received one of your tracts by mail, on the Sabbath, I have become established on the truth after careful study. I now feel that I am keeping the day that God intended we should keep. We find but little opposition here, although Bro. Maitlen and I are here alone on the frontier of Kansas. There is no one to preach to us. We interest ourselves on the Sabbath and all our leisure time in posting ourselves on the Scriptures, and reading tracts. We trust that we may be faithful to the end, and that ere long we may be blessed with help.

Yours respectfully, A. A. HOOVER. Riley Co., Kansas.

Labors Among the Seventh-day Baptists

Bro. Wm. S. Ingraham writes from Minn.: I have spent some time with the Seventh-day Baptists, and good has resulted from my labors. I have also visited Maiden Rock, in Wisconsin. Some more received the truth, and the church was benefited.

Encouragement for the Lonely

By Sister L. D. Cummings

SISTER L. D. CUMMINGS writes from Sullivan Co., N. H.: If the brethren and sisters knew the good their letters do to the lonely ones, we should hear from more. Why do we not hear from the brethren in New Hampshire? Where is their voice in the column set apart to take the place of the social meeting? To the lonely ones, I would say, be not discouraged. Be not weary in well doing; for there is a rich promise in store for you. We shall reap in due season if we faint not.

Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Albany, Wis., Feb. 11, 1870, of consumption, my dear wife, Jane Francis, daughter of Benjamin and Jane Swancutt, aged 30 years, 4 months, and 28 days.

At the age of 12, she joined the Primitive Methodist church. In 1858, we were both buried in baptism. In 1865, under the labors of Eld. Ingraham, she commenced keeping the Sabbath, and has been a member of the S. D. A. church of Albany, Wis., since its organization. She was a tender mother, a good, loving wife. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss. WM. FRANCIS.

Also, died in Albany, Wis., Feb. 11, 1870, Benj. Swancutt, jr., aged 32 years 3 months and 10 days, only twenty-three hours after his sister, Jane Francis. His disease was inflammation of the bowels. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss. Both funerals met at the graveyard, where we laid them both away to wait the coming of the Lifegiver, whose voice will open the graves of all his, and bring them forth clothed with immortality.

Funeral sermon by Eld. E. J. Meredith, Methodist. WM. FRANCIS.

Died, in Chelsea, Mass., of bilious fever, March 11, 1870, Sr. Belinda Chick, aged 65 years. She embraced the present truth last summer, and was earnest and consistent in this, as she ever had been in the light she had enjoyed as a member of the Freewill Baptist church. One of the best of companions and mothers has fallen asleep in Christ, leaving a husband and five children to mourn her loss. May they be led by her godly example and dying admonitions, to make such a preparation that they with her may share the reward of eternal life.

Words of consolation were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. M. E. CORNELL.

In sorrow and sadness we lay her away, For a dreamless repose in the lone, quiet tomb, While striving in humble submission to say, The will of our Father in Heaven be done.

But with the loved sleeper we know it is well; Her rest will be sweet till Jesus shall come, When she shall awaken with rapture to swell The glad song of triumph o'er death and the tomb. A. M. A.C.

Died, in Viola, Iowa, March 15, 1870, of scarlet fever, Esther Barnard, eldest daughter of Truman, and Anna Barnard, aged 14 years. Truly, as James says, our life is “even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” N. BLOOD.

A Lonely Believer in Kansas

By John M. Adams

From Bro. Adams.

DEAR BRETHREN IN CHRIST: I am one of the lonely ones. I am still holding on to the truth, to the best of my knowledge, taking the Bible for my guide, although much opposition abounds in our land. The REVIEW is all the preaching I have. It is a welcome messenger. Here is a good opening to present the truth, and I still pray for some one to come and proclaim it here. I think good might be done here. We all have something to do. May we live so that we can help sing the song of the redeemed. Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life. We have the promise of entering into the holy city by obeying God's commandments. Dear brethren, pray for unworthy me, that I may keep my lamp trimmed and burning. JOHN M. ADAMS. Jefferson Co., Kan.

California State Meeting.

The second California State Meeting of Seventh-day Adventists will be held at Santa Rosa, Cal., Sabbath and Sunday, April 9 and 10, 1870. The religious services will commence Sabbath evening (or what is usually called Friday evening) at sunset. The object of this meeting is to strengthen and encourage the brethren and sisters by giving them an opportunity of forming new acquaintances with those of like precious faith, and worshiping together, and to take such measures as will be most conducive to the advancement of the cause of present truth in California. At this meeting we design among other things, to establish Quarterly Meetings for the companies already raised in this State. A general and urgent invitation is extended to all the churches and scattered brethren of the State.

The reader will miss from the first page of this paper the usual article from Bro.

Address REVIEW & HERALD.

Work While the Day Lasts

The appeal from Bro. Sanborn to the brethren in Wisconsin, found in another column, has the right ring. Work, work, while the day lasts! The work is pressing, the time is short. Shall we all awake to the importance of the truth, and the duties of the hour?

Advertising Notices in the Health Reformer

By Editor

We are frequently receiving from brethren short advertisements for insertion in the REVIEW, according to an arrangement to that effect which existed some time since. We would say that such notices are no longer inserted in the REVIEW. Those, therefore, who wish to advertise will please write to the Health Reformer, which is equally good as an advertising medium for notices of such a nature. For terms see the Reformer.

New Movement Among the Mormons

A “New Movement” has for some time been in progress among the Mormons of Utah. Its originators appear to be earnest men goaded to the most enthusiastic resistance by the wrongs they have suffered. They charge the Mormon leaders in no mild nor measured terms with spiritual tyranny and oppression of the darkest dye. We have received a worn copy of the first number of the Mormon Tribune, a large eight-page paper devoted to the “movement,” dated Jan. 1, 1870. The movement is rapidly increasing, and promises to be one of no inconsiderable magnitude. It is the opinion of most of our exchanges that internal broils will soon afford a permanent solution of the perplexing Mormon problem.

The Independent American Catholic Church

The Church Advocate, speaking of the formation of an “Independent American Catholic Church,” now being agitated in this country, says:—

“There evidently is some secret power at work which may be preparing the world for great events in the near future. To discharge the duties of the hour faithfully, to labor for the conversion of souls, and the extension of Zion’s borders, to spread the knowledge of the pure word of life,—these are the works to which we need to apply ourselves with all our might. ‘Blessed is that man whom his Lord, when he comes, shall find so doing.’”

The Significance of Baptism

By J. W. W.

J. W. W., of Ohio: By baptism we show our faith in the death and resurrection of Christ. It is the outward act by which we show that we have put off the old man, and put on the new. None have a right to administer the ordinance except those who have been ordained as elders or evangelists.

Wanted.

By James White

We wish to say to the friends of the cause, that our Publishing Association is paying ten per cent interest on hired money, amounting to several thousand dollars. We wish to stop this heavy tax upon the Association of interest-paying, in this way:

Those friends of the cause who can let the Association have the use of a few hundreds each, without interest, can forward it to this Office, and receive the Association’s note, bearing no interest. This will enable us to pay interest-bearing notes.

And here we would notify those who hold interest-bearing notes against the Association, that we shall be glad to pay them immediately.

JAMES WHITE, Pres. S. D. A. P. A.

Knowledge Without Wasting Time

The writer does the most who gives his reader the most knowledge, and takes from him the least time.

Appeal for General Conference Funds

By James White

We would say to our churches and scattered brethren, that the expenses of the General Conference the past year have been very heavy. About $2000 are wanting to do justice to all our home missionaries. JAMES WHITE.

Small Fruit Plants and Pamphlet

By James White

We are able to purchase grape roots of large dealers at rates to furnish them at reduced prices. We will furnish the kinds noticed in the pamphlet, “How to Cultivate and Can Small Fruits,” for 40 cents each; $3.50 a dozen; $20 per hundred; twenty per cent discount when the money accompanies orders. Those who wish the pamphlet named above, Strawberry plants, Raspberry, Blackberry, and Grape roots, should order them immediately. JAMES WHITE.

European Mission.

By James White

We have sent $2000 to relieve the cause in Europe from embarrassment, and to forward the work there, in confident expectation that the friends of the cause would immediately respond to our call, and help bear this burden. Up to this time we have received only the following sums. We are in pressing need of the money to help on in other branches of the cause.
