MY DREAM.

By R. F. C.

I DREAMED that the resurrection morn, or Christ’s second coming, had come. There appeared a bright shining cloud in the east. It extended from the north pole to the south pole. Its greatest brightness was in the center, where Christ was seated. I had an idea that the cloud had started at Palestine, and was moving around the earth in the direction of the sun, or from east to west. I thought it would take it twenty-four hours to finish its round. The cloud was covered with saints and angels, from one end to the other. The angels were gathering the saints as the cloud passed along, both the living and the dead; and were conveying them to the cloud. The living were changed in an instant, and the dead came forth out of the earth with glorified bodies. All had wings. As the dead came forth out of their graves, they looked back, and smiled as they said, “O grave, where is thy victory?” and then rose to the cloud by means of their wings, assisted by an angel that took hold of the right hand. As I saw these saints with their bright shining wings, I thought of the passage, “Thou shalt be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.”

The impression was made on my mind that this was the first resurrection, spoken of in Revelation, and that only the saints were gathered, and the wicked were left behind. I had no idea that the Judgment would follow immediately. I thought that this was the beginning of the millennium, and the true fulfillment of the words, “Thy kingdom come; thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven.”

I gazed upon the scene with wonder and admiration, and also with joy and gladness; but as it drew nearer, and still nearer, I began to have doubts and fears, and the thought came to my mind that perhaps I would be left behind, because I was not sanctified. Then I awoke and found it was all a dream; but the passages referred to have left a strange impression on my mind, and they seem to have a new meaning and a new beauty, that no commentator can obliterate from my mind. DAVID SUTER.

DEAR EDITORS: I am in a German settlement in the interior of Pennsylvania. There is but one Sabbath-keeper here. By his invitation I came to this place. He has had but a little acquaintance with our people and our publications, in Iowa. The accompanying dream he had written, and permitted me to copy it. Most commonly, people dream in harmony with their creed; but what is remarkable about this is, that it was contrary to his former views, which were that both the righteous and the wicked would be raised together, and then both classes be judged. He dreamed the same dream twice; the first time in December, 1875, and the second time in June, 1876, with this difference, that the second time he had not the doubts and fears in regard to being left behind as the cloudy chariot should pass, but expected to be caught up when it should reach the place where he was; but before it reached him, he awoke.

LET US HELP ONE ANOTHER

By Mary L. Brown

This little sentence, “Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you,” should be written on every heart, and stamped on every memory. This golden rule should be practiced throughout the world, and especially among the professed followers of Jesus; and if we abide by this precept, we shall most certainly desire to lend a helping hand to those around us. How dark were the life of the aged pilgrim, as he, leaning on his staff in his declining years travels slowly onward, did he not have some kind word, or the smile of love to light the gloom! Although he may have his eye fixed upon the mark, and see but a little in the distance the bright fields of glory, and feel that his Heavenly Father’s smiles are resting upon him, still in his pilgrimage here below it is pleasing to him to be treated gently and kindly, and by thus doing we shall gain the approbation of our Father in Heaven; for has he not promised, “Whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward?”

Then let us heed these precious promises. There are many ways in which we may lend a helping hand or speak an encouraging word, and thus benefit others. May we not spurn the poor outcast, steeped in sin, but let us try with kind words to win back such ones to the path of rectitude and virtue. By helping those around us we not only remove thorns from the pathway, and anxiety from the mind, but we feel a sense of pleasure in our own hearts, knowing we are doing a duty for our fellow beings; and the Lord will bless the feeblest efforts put forth in this direction, if done out of a pure motive.

Who has not needed the encouragement and aid of a kind friend? How soothing when in a state of perplexity, or burdened with the cares of life, to hear a kind voice whispering, “Let me help you!” What strength is inspired, what hope created, what sweet gratitude is felt! and the difficulties are removed as dew beneath the sunshine.

Yes, let us help one another whenever an opportunity presents itself; if we see a brother or sister weary and oppressed, we will endeavor to encourage him and lift from him the weight which is so burdensome, that life may glide smoothly and the fount of bitterness yield sweet water. We will also remember that there is a higher Source to which we may flee in time of need and trial. His willing hand is ever ready to aid us, and he will reward our humble endeavors; and every good deed will be as bread cast upon the waters, to return after many days, if not to us to those we love. Then

“Stretch forth your hand like a brother, Remember that life’s but a span, ’Tis our duty to help one another, And do a good turn when we can.”

MARY L. BROWN.

AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

By Frank Crandall; Lebbie Crandall

Feeling that we owe a debt of gratitude to the brethren and sisters whom we met at the Illinois Conference, for their self-denial and tenderness in caring for our wants, and for the kindness and sympathy extended to us in our affliction while with them, we wish to make the acknowledgment through the REVIEW, as we cannot consistently address each one individually. Although we are nominally Seventh-day Baptists, we feel that we are in harmony with Seventh-day Adventists in every point; consequently we are laying our plans to find a home among them; and we hope not only to be benefited ourselves by so doing, but to be of some benefit to God's cause and to his people. Sickness prevented our accomplishing our object this fall, but we are in hopes that in the spring, the Lord willing, we shall be able to do so.

The kindness shown us at the late meeting helped to strengthen the cord of brotherly love which already existed between us; and also more firmly to establish us in the belief that they are the people of God. While acknowledging, we wish to remember Bro. James Sawyer, of Battle Creek, and to return our thanks to him for the aid he has rendered us. If the Lord wills, we hope to see him soon and repay him for his trouble. And now we pray that the Lord may not only bless you all in this life, but that he may give you a more abundant inheritance in the earth made new.

Letter From an Aged Sister in Michigan

By Almira White

FROM AN AGED SISTER.

Dear Review and Herald: I wish to say that through your kindness and liberality I have been a reader of your most excellent paper for nearly a year, for which I receive my warmest gratitude. I esteem it next to my Bible. It imparts health, strength, and light to every lover of Bible truth. It causes tears of joy to hear of the onward march of present truth. I am highly blest by reading. Oh! how I desire that some messenger should come to Smyrna, Ionia Co., Mich. In years past there was a large Baptist church organized, but fault-finding has destroyed it. But few attend their worship. There are many hoping, wishing, praying, for a Bible man to come and preach the word.

I have distributed over two thousand pages of reading matter since last January. Although past my three-score years and ten, and have not been able to dress myself but twice in more than two years, yet I can glean some here and there in the Lord’s vineyard. ALMIRA WHITE. Kent Co., Mich.

PRAYER AND FAITH.

By A. Smith

The example of Elijah the prophet is cited in Jas. 5:17, 18, as an illustration of the power and efficacy of fervent prayer and faith. If we may judge from the brevity of his petition at the great sacrifice of Baal (1 Kings 18), when he bowed upon Mount Carmel and besought God for rain, his words were few and to the point. Seven times the prayer is repeated, when his servant reports the appearance of a diminutive cloud. Elijah does not watch to see whether it will grow into a storm, but immediately sends to the king the thrilling and cheering message, “Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.” A. SMITH.

THE GOLDEN RULE.

By Josephine Mott

“As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

SUPPOSE, my friend, my brother, my sister, that you had wronged some one in some way (for we are all liable to err), and you should ask the forgiveness of that person for the wrong you had done him, honestly seeking to be forgiven, feeling sorrow of heart that you had wronged and grieved him, yet should be refused pardon on the ground that he had no faith in your sorrow and repentance, would you not feel that it was unjust? that he had no right to judge your motives? Would you not feel that he was not following the rule the Saviour gave to forgive, not only seven times, but seventy times seven, and so falling under the condemnation, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Yet how often have you done the same thing when others have sinned against you! You say they must prove by their fruits that they are sorry, and mean to do better. How can they, if you don’t give them a chance to do so, by giving them your forgiveness and with it your confidence in such a degree as to treat them as a brother or a sister. If you turn a cold shoulder to them, and drive them away from you as if you thought they were vipers, will you not by this course, if they are sincere, drive them into the opposite course again, and perhaps cause them to lose their souls? They may be vipers, for God alone knows the heart, but you have no right to say they are until they prove themselves such. You ought to treat them lovingly, gently, and kindly, and help them along in the good way.

Of course you have no reason to trust them with secrets, thus giving them a chance to harm you should they prove traitors; but treat them as erring fellow-beings for whom you have (or should have) a tender, loving care to help them on in the pathway of life, and aid them to find a home in the new earth. Your own hearts will be happier, you will be better men and women, than if you continued to nurse that bitter feeling against your neighbor that is now festering in your heart. Pray that God may help you to put away this evil from your heart. Think on these things. Remember the words of Christ: “As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” JOSEPHINE MOTT. Princeville, Peoria Co., Ill.

Obituary Notices.

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

Fell asleep in Jesus, Nov. 16, 1876, at Oxford, Mass., Mary R. Wilbur, wife of William Wilbur, aged forty-three years, seven months, and three days.

My dear aunt had been feeble a number of years. Two years ago she was raised from a sick bed in answer to prayer. This fall she took a sudden cold which ended in quick consumption. She had the Christian’s hope to sustain her. The thought of the second coming of Christ and the resurrection was a great comfort to her, and had been for a number of years. She was a kind companion and a faithful mother. She leaves a large circle of relatives and acquaintances to mourn their loss. We deeply mourn, but not without hope. In all her sufferings she was never heard to murmur or complain, was ever cheerful, hopeful and trusting, ever looking up to the blessed Redeemer for help to carry her through all the struggles of life. She was kind to the poor, would sacrifice her own comfort for the comfort of others. She exhorted her friends to be faithful and meet her in the kingdom. She felt that she would sleep but a little while, ere the Lifegiver would come and give immortal life to all the faithful ones. It was hard to part with one we loved so dearly. She was laid in the tomb at Putnam, Conn., until they could get an Adventist to preach her funeral sermon, and select a burying place.

We long for that land where these partings are o’er, Where death and the tomb can divide us no more.

Jennie E. Wheeler.

Died, of consumption, in Jamaica, Vt., Nov. 22, 1876, Marshall Edson, aged 55. Bro. Edson has kept the Sabbath 25 years. In his last days he felt the assurance of his acceptance with the Lord, and desired to rest till the Lifegiver shall come. Funeral discourse by Eld. Emmons, Congregationalist, from the comforting words in Ps. 9:9.

“Oh, how I Love This Sabbath!”

By R. F. C.

ELD. W. C. WHITFORD, delegate from the S. D. Baptists to our General Conference at Lansing, Mich., Sept. 22, 1876, in his discourse said, “Joseph Bates among your people says that he ‘gladly embraced the truth and commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord.’ In your first meetings he would often exclaim ‘Oh, how I love this Sabbath.’” “He being dead yet speaketh.”

Tune—Missionary Hymn.

Oh, how I love this Sabbath! This day Divinely blessed, On which our great Creator Did from his labor rest; This day of joy and gladness, Memorial of our King; Let all who truly love him Unite, his praise to sing!

Oh, how I love this Sabbath! Though set at nought by men; Profaned, despised, down-trodden, For ages it has been; Yet now this glorious Sabbath Is rising in its might, And loving hearts and loyal Are coming to its light.

Oh, how I love this Sabbath! ’Tis truly a delight, Holy, and honorable, And sacred in my sight, When earth renewed, all living In praise its hours employ Without a note of discord, I hope to share the joy.

R. F. C.

The Educational Society.

By Uriah Smith

THOSE who have taken stock in the S. D. A. Educational Society have not yet all received their certificates of stock. Some have been sent out and returned as not called for. Others have not yet been issued, our first stock books being used up, and no new ones being yet provided. This will be attended to soon, and all provided with certificates as far as it is possible to find them. We make this explanation, that the patrons of the S. D. A. Educational Society may see that they are not forgotten, but that the business will be done up in due time.

U. SMITH, Sec. S. D. A. E. Society.

To Michigan Tract Workers.

By S. N. Haskell

NEARLY every mail brings new lists of names from canvassers in different parts of this State, and the same more or less throughout the country.

Within the last ten days, from Dists. Nos. 10 and 13, there have been sent in orders for 97 copies of the SIGNS, besides long lists of names for the HEALTH REFORMER. The SIGNS were principally taken by churches and individuals, to be used in obtaining interested readers. The subscribers for the REFORMER were obtained by canvassers with the premiums. The WAY OF LIFE gives general satisfaction as a premium. Our brethren and sisters take advantage of this, and in many places are working with a commendable zeal.

To save confusion, avoid mistakes, and expedite the business, we offer the following suggestions:—

1. Let those canvassing and using the premiums, who are not especial agents, do their business through the director, and let him order through the State secretary.

2. Those especial agents of the Tract Society who canvass on a per cent., can send their names direct to Mrs. S. H. Lane, the State secretary, providing they are indorsed to her by the proper authority. The director of the district in which the agent lives would be a proper person.

3. In the case above described, the money need not accompany the names, as it can be paid to the librarian of the church where the agent is connected. The State secretary will charge the same to the district, and the district secretary, or director, to the church of which the canvasser is a member.

4. Those sending the REFORMER to their friends, and paying therefor sixty cents, can send the names accompanied with the cash directly to the REVIEW Office; also the same with the SIGNS. The names can be sent, accompanied with $1.50 each, directly to the SIGNS Office, Oakland, Cal. But those wishing to pay the money in to the Tract Society should do the business as described above.

5. In either case, report what you have done by properly filling out the blank report, which will be placed in the hands of every member of the Tract Society in season to be filled out and returned before each quarterly meeting. Be particular to state whether the names were obtained with or without a premium.

A new blank report has just been issued adapted to this work; and a sufficient quantity have been sent to each district to supply each member in said district.

It should be distinctly understood that agents are not to offer the REFORMER, with or without the premium, for less than $1.00. But if any wish to send it to their friends, they have the privilege to do so for 60 cts., without the premium. For special rates to Tract Societies, where premiums are used, see agent's circulars. Agent's circulars can be had of each director.
