By N. Fuller
We met at Niles Settlement, July 4, according to appointment, and many of us could have said as did Peter upon the mount, “Lord, it is good for us to be here.” That was the best Monthly Meeting I ever attended in Allegany County. Sinners trembled, backsliders came confessing their way back to God. The church was free. In our conference meeting, Sabbath morning, forty-five bore testimony in fifty-four minutes. It seemed that we could almost see the angels around us in the house. The place was solemn, and yet glorious. I spoke at eleven, and again in the afternoon. There was a growing interest in each meeting. We came together in the evening, and the Lord seemed to guide that we should have conference meeting. The Lord led that meeting by his Spirit. I tried several times to close but could not. The very heavens seemed to open upon us, and such a shower of the blessing of God as is rarely witnessed came rushing upon us. It was a foretaste of the latter rain. Our conference meeting commenced at 9 A. M. on first-day and continued until 10 A. M. I then spoke from the words of God in Gen. vii, 1: “Come thou and all thy house into the ark.” This was just the subject. The Lord gave great freedom in setting forth the truth. At the close of my remarks, while turning the leaves of my hymn book, a sister arose and gave such a testimony as the Lord directed by his Spirit, and one after another followed in quick succession, until each one had done what the Lord had for them to do. This was a very singular meeting; especial messages were delivered to quite a number, and burdens rested upon the church for all but one individual present. This was a man by the name of Joel G. Sanders, who has burdened the church, and caused them much sorrow, until they were obliged to disfellowship him. He has since proved by his conduct that it was right to take just the course we did with him. He was reproved of the Lord, and pretended to accept the testimony, but in his heart he never did. Now the Lord has taken all burden from the church and laid it wholly upon himself, and he feels it. But in all probability his unsubdued will will prove his utter ruin. I will here say, he has a good companion, and good children. May God save them from the dreadful influence they are under. The 11th and 12th, we met with the friends at Roulette, according to appointment. The blessing of God attended that meeting also. Our conference meeting was good, and nearly all took part in it. At 11, I gave a discourse on the subject of Faith. At 3, sister Lindsey spoke from the words, “Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him; for the reward of his hands shall be given him,” and in a clear manner showed that the threatenings of God were against the sinner, but that God, in mercy, would at last give the meek eternal life. First-day morning, after our conference meeting, which was good, I gave a discourse showing the harmony of the law and the gospel, and that there would have been no need of the gospel if men had not violated the law; that the gospel was to save men from sin, and sin was the transgression of the law; that the principles of the law of God were immutable; that they emanated from Jehovah himself, and to change them would destroy the constitution of Heaven, by which men were to be brought into Judgment, and hence the Judgment would be a failure, without the law as a rule. Two Freewill Baptist ministers were present, one of whom was to preach at 11½. He endorsed what I had preached, heartily, and said he would make it stronger if he could. He said it was our duty to keep all the law, and then by the gospel we might be saved. He repeated time and again that “we must keep the commandments of God” if we would have salvation. He then left the meeting for me to close. I then took an expression by asking those to arise who would commence to keep all the commandments of God just as they were written, referring to the fact that it was just what the minister and myself had preached. A large portion of those present arose, but to the astonishment of those present the speaker did not arise. “Let us do as they say, not as they do.” Among those who arose was one Capt. Simpson from Middlesex Co., Ct., a very intelligent appearing man, who, being on a visit to Bro. L. Lyman’s, happened to attend the meeting. By the way, he had had some light on the Sabbath question before. His wife was also present. May God give him strength to bear the cross. We then repaired to the Allegany river, where seven were baptized and came forth, as we trust, to walk in newness of life. Not having time to repair to the house, I spoke a few minutes, on the bank of the river, to those who had witnessed the scene, on the probability of a final separation of families at the great and last day. Two were deeply convicted, and wept about two hours; sometimes they sobbed aloud. We had a season of prayer for them, and they found the Saviour. Then both bore testimony that Christ has power on earth to forgive sins. Brethren in the ministry, go on in the work. All Heaven is interested in the salvation of men. Yours in hope, N. FULLER. Wellsville, N. Y., July 20, 1868. It was a brisk, clear evening in the latter part of December, when Mr. A—— returned from his counting-house to the comforts of a bright coal fire and warm arm-chair, in his parlor at home. He changed his heavy boots for slippers, drew around him the folds of his evening gown, and then lounging back in his chair, looked up to the ceiling and about with an air of satisfaction. Still there was a cloud on his brow. What could be the matter with Mr. A——? To tell the truth, he had that afternoon, in his counting-room, received the agent of one of the principal religious charities of the day, and had been warmly urged to double his last year's subscription, and the urging had been pressed by statements and arguments to which he did not know well how to reply. “People think,” soliloquized he to himself, “that I am made of money, I believe. This is the fourth object this year for which I have been requested to double my subscription; and this year has been one of heavy family expenses—building and fitting up this house, carpets, curtains—no end to the new things to be bought. I do not see, really, how I am to give a penny more in charity. There are the bills for the boys and girls—they all say they must have twice as much now as before we came into this house—wonder if I did right in building it?” And Mr. A—— glanced uneasily up and down the ceiling, and around on the costly furniture, and looked into the fire in silence. He was tired, harassed and sleepy; his head began to swim, and his eyes closed. He was asleep. In his sleep he thought he heard a tap at the door, and there stood a plain, poor-looking man, who, in a voice singularly low and sweet, asked for a few moments' conversation with him. Mr. A—— asked him into the parlor, and drew him a chair near the fire. The stranger looked attentively around, and then turning to Mr. A—— presented him with a paper. “It is your last year's subscription to missions,” said he; “you know all the wants of that cause that can be told you; I came to see if you had anything more to add to it.” This was said in the same low and quiet voice as before, but for some reason unaccountable to himself Mr. A—— was more embarrassed by the plain, poor, unpretending man than he had been in the presence of any one before. He was for some moments silent before he could reply at all, and then in a hurried and embarrassed manner he began the same excuses which appeared so satisfactory to him the afternoon before—the hardness of the times, the difficulty of collecting money, family expenses, etc. The stranger quietly surveyed the spacious apartment, with its many elegancies and luxuries, and without any comment, took from the merchant the paper he had given, but immediately presented him with another. “This is your subscription to the Tract Society, have you anything to add to it? You know how much it has been doing, and how much more it now desires to do if Christians would only furnish means. Do you not feel called upon to add something to it?” Mr. A—— was very uneasy under this appeal; but there was something in the still, mild manner of the stranger that restrained him, but he answered that, though he regretted it exceedingly, his circumstances were such that he could not this year conveniently add to any of his charities. The stranger received back the paper without any reply, but immediately presented in its place his subscription to the Bible Society, and in a few clear and forcible words, reminded him of its well-known claims, and again requested him to add something to his donation. Mr. A—— became impatient. “Have I not said,” he replied, “that I can do nothing more for any charity than I did last year? There seems to be no end to the calls these days. At first there were only three or four objects presented, and the sums required moderate; now the objects increase every day, and calls upon us for money; and all, after we have given once, want us to double, and treble, and quadruple our subscriptions. There is no end to the thing. We may as well stop in one place as another.” The stranger took back the paper, rose, and, fixing his eye on his companion, said, in a voice that thrilled to the soul: “One year ago to-night you thought your daughter was dying; you could not rest for agony; upon whom did you call that night?” The merchant started, and looked up; there seemed a change to have passed over the whole form of his visitor, whose eye was fixed on him with a calm, intense, penetrating expression that subdued him. He drew back, covered his face and made no reply. “Five years ago,” said the stranger, “when you lay at the brink of the grave, and thought that if you died then you would leave a family unprovided for, do you remember how you prayed? Who saved you then?” The stranger paused for an answer, but there was a dead silence. The merchant only bent forward as one entirely overcome, and rested his head on the seat beside him. The stranger drew yet nearer, and said in a still lower and more impressive tone: “Do you remember fifteen years since, that time when you felt yourself so lost, so helpless; when you spent day and night in prayer; when you thought you would give the world for one hour's assurance that your sins were forgiven you? Who listened to you then?” “It was my God and Saviour,” said the merchant, with a sudden burst of remorseful feeling, “Oh! yes, it was he.” “And has he ever complained of being called on too often?” inquired the stranger in a voice of reproachful sweetness. “Say,” added he, “are you willing to begin this night and ask no more of him, if he, from this night, will ask no more from you?” “Oh, never, never, never!” throwing himself at his feet. But as he spake these words, the figure seemed to vanish, and he awoke, with his soul stirred within. “Oh, God and Saviour! what have I been doing?” he exclaimed. “Take all, take everything! What is all I have to what thou hast done for me?” REPORT FROM BRO. COTTRELL.
By R. F. Cottrell
My labors in Randolph continued nine weeks. Eighteen embraced the Sabbath, and others still are convinced of the truth. I hope they will obey before their convictions wear off, before it shall be said, Let them alone. It will be a poor excuse, in the Judgment, for not obeying a plain commandment of God, that some of those who kept it, ate only two meals a day. No one requires you to follow this example. All are free to choose for themselves in regard to the health reform, except in the use of those things notoriously hurtful to both body and mind. These we expect all will feel called upon to abandon, and cleanse themselves from their pernicious influence and effects. I spent one Sabbath with the two Sabbath-keepers near Eddyville, mentioned by Bro. Milk, in a communication in the REVIEW. They embraced the Sabbath from reading books which he scattered in that region. But as the weather was so excessively warm, and as the people were in the midst of haying, it was not thought best to try to commence a series of meetings in a new place; and needing rest myself, I thought it best to return and spend a few weeks at home, where I arrived after an absence of ten weeks.

The Publishing Association.
The Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association was incorporated in Battle Creek, Mich., May 3, 1861. Its object is to issue “periodicals, books, tracts, documents, and other publications, calculated to impart instruction on Bible truth, especially the fulfillment of prophecy, the commandments of God, and the teachings of Jesus Christ.” Its capital stock is raised by shares at $10 each; and every shareholder is entitled to one vote in all the deliberations of the Association, for every share that he or she may hold. The Association has now a large and well-furnished Office of publication, established in Battle Creek, Mich., and employs two steam power presses in carrying on its business. A meeting of the stockholders is held each year, at which a board of trustees is elected to manage its business, and editors chosen to conduct its periodicals, till the ensuing meeting. All persons employed in the publishing department, are engaged at stipulated wages, and all profits accruing from the business, are strictly applied by the Association to the carrying out of the object of its formation, and to its charitable uses and purposes. All lovers of truth, who “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus,” are still invited to take shares in the Association, and have a voice in all its deliberations. The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald
Is a large sixteen-page religious family paper, issued weekly by the S. D. A. Pub. Association, and devoted to an earnest investigation of all Bible questions. It is designed to be an exponent of momentous and solemn truths pertaining to the present time, some of which are set forth by no other periodical in the land. The fulfillment of prophecy, the second personal advent of the Saviour as an event now near at hand, immortality through Christ alone, a change of heart through the operation of the Holy Spirit, the observance of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, the divinity and mediatorial work of Christ, and the development of a holy character by obedience to the perfect and holy law of God, as embodied in the decalogue, are among its special themes. And while it will endeavor to present impartially both sides of all important questions, it has a definite theory to teach, and hence will not devote its space to an indiscriminate and aimless mass of conflicting sentiments and views. Regular price, $3.00 per year, or $1.50 for a volume of 26 numbers. On trial for six months $1.00. No subscriptions taken for less than six months. To the worthy poor—free, by their reporting themselves and requesting its continuance, once in six months. The friends of the Review are invited to earnest and unceasing efforts to extend its circulation. Is a monthly sheet, published as above, and designed to be to the youth and children what the Review and Herald is to those of riper years. You who wish to see your children instructed in the great truths which so interest you, will here find a sheet in which these things are set forth in a plain and interesting manner, free from the popular fables and errors of the age. It should not only visit regularly every youth and child who professes to be a follower of Jesus, but should be taken and read in every Sabbath-keeping family. Don’t forget the children. See that they have the Instructor. Terms, 50 cts. per year in advance. This is the title of a monthly health journal, “devoted to an exposition of the laws of our being, and the application of those laws in the preservation of health and the treatment of disease.” It is an earnest advocate of the true philosophy of life, the only rational method of treating disease, and the best means of preserving health. Practical instructions will be given from month to month relative to water, air, light, food, sleep, rest, recreation, &c. Health, its recovery and preservation, is a subject of world-wide interest, whatever may be a person’s tenets in other respects; and to this the Reformer will be exclusively devoted. Edited by H. S. Lay, M. D., Managing Physician of the Health-Reform Institute. Terms $1.00 in advance for a volume of twelve numbers. Address Dr. H. S. Lay, Battle Creek, Mich. Is becoming a theme of wide-spread and absorbing interest. To those who wish to give the subject a thorough investigation, we recommend the History of the Sabbath. As a work setting forth a connected Bible view of the Sabbath question, its history since the Christian era, and the different steps by which the human institution of the first day of the week has usurped the place of the Bible institution of the seventh day, it is unsurpassed by any publication extant. Between two and three hundred quotations from history are111 given, to each of which is appended a full reference to the authority from which it is taken. It is replete with facts and arguments which challenge denial or refutation. Other works on this subject, from the penny tract to the largest size pamphlet, will be found noticed in our book list. There is no other Bible subject upon which a more extensive misunderstanding exists, than upon the Sabbath question. Circulate the books, and spread abroad the light on this subject. The works upon this important subject to which we would call especial attention, are, The Prophecy of Daniel, The Sanctuary and 2300 Days, and The Three Messages of Rev. xiv. The first gives an exposition of the plain and thrilling prophecies of Daniel ii, vii, and viii, showing from the course of empire that the God of Heaven is about to set up his kingdom. The Sanctuary question is the great central subject of the plan of salvation, and yet there are but few, comparatively, who have any acquaintance with it. It gives a new interest to a great part of the Bible, leads to an intelligent view of the position and work of Christ as our great High Priest in Heaven, completely explains the past Advent movement, and shows clearly our position in prophecy and the world’s history. The three messages bring to view present duty, and future peril. All should read these books, and ponder well their teaching. Immortality through Christ alone.
We call the special attention of the reader to the subjects of the nature of man, his condition in death, and the destiny of the wicked. More than ordinary importance attaches to these subjects, at the present time. We would confidently recommend to all a thorough reading of the work by H. H. Dobney entitled, Future Punishment, as advertised in our book list. The reader will find it a work exhaustive in its investigations, and remarkable for its candor, and the strength and clearness of its reasoning. Which? Mortal or Immortal? is a lower-priced and more-condensed work on the same subjects. While “The End of the Wicked,” and the one, two and three cent tracts may be found sufficient to awaken interest with those who would not commence with larger works. For the convenience of those who may wish to purchase books for general circulation, we have put up assorted packages of tracts in two sizes, which we will send post-paid at 50c., and $1.00, respectively. The 50c package contains Sabbath Tracts Nos. 1, 2, and 3, End of Wicked, Mark of Beast, Sin of Witchcraft, Objections to Second Advent, answered, Death and Burial, Positive Institutions, Much in Little, Truth, Preach the Word, Law by Wesley, and Miscellany. The $1.00 package contains The Three Messages, Which, Mortal or Immortal? Prophecy of Daniel, Saints Inheritance, Signs of Times, Seven Trumpets, Celestial R. R., Perpetuity of Spiritual Gifts, Scripture References, Wicked Dead, Sabbath by Elihu, Infidelity and Spiritualism, War and Sealing, Who Changed Sabbath, Seven Reasons for Sunday-keeping Examined, Institution of Sabbath, Thoughts for the Candid, Appeal to men of reason, Personality of God, Seven Seals, and Time Lost. Those who order these packages, save their postage. We cannot too strongly urge upon all the circulation of our publications, books and papers. Many, now rejoicing in the truth, can attribute their first interest in these things to these silent preachers; while in some instances they have opened the way for the formation of well established and flourishing churches. The Association will furnish tracts to ministers and others for Gratuitous Distribution, at the following cheap rates: 4-page tracts, at 25 cts. per hundred.
8-page tracts, at 50 cts. per hundred.
16-page tracts, at $1.00 per hundred.
