The Present Truth in Iowa

Bro. H. S. Bonifield writes from Osceola, Iowa: "The present truth is onward in this part of the country; and the preaching of the three angels' messages has a good impression on the minds of most of the people wherever it is heard, though but few reduce them to practise here or elsewhere. Yet there are a few of us, even in the far West, who feel it for our own interest, and for the good of our own souls to forsake all and bear all the persecution that may be heaped upon us. Though it seems sometimes to be heavy, yet when we think of all the persecution that was heaped upon the only begotten Son of God, and how after enduring all with patience, he died the ignominious death of the cross, then we think we can esteem our troubles and trials light. We know that all things in this world are but momentary compared with the happiness that we shall enjoy in eternity, if we live here in a manner that will be acceptable in the sight of God."

Testimony for the Lord

Sister M. Emans writes from Gilboa, Ohio: “I have long had a desire to give in my testimony on the Lord's side. It was two years last fall since I embraced the truth of the third angel's message, and since then I have been striving to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Though making many crooked paths, and many times wandering from the strait and narrow way, yet I want to cleave unto the Lord with all my heart. I want to heed the faithful and true Witness, and be zealous and repent, that all my sins may finally be blotted out of the book of remembrance.”

Preparing for Christ’s Return

Bro. S. E. Edwards writes from Napoleon, Ohio: "When I look at the glorious promises our Saviour has given us, that his grace shall be sufficient for our day and trials, that gives me courage to make earnest efforts to get ready for his return, lest he come upon us a thief in the night, as it was in the days of Noah. I still feel like praising God that our number has not decreased, but that all are still keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We have our meetings twice a week, and there are some dear friends that meet with us whom we would be glad to see come out decidedly upon the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and get ready for translation. It seems to me that time is almost come to its close."

Meeting Together on the Sabbath

Bro. W. P. Hale writes from Sullivan, Ind.: "We have no meetings. It is true we are not set in order in church capacity, but that, in my opinion, should not hinder us from doing our duty in meeting together on each Sabbath, and encouraging each other in the way to Zion. We cannot be too particular; neither can we do more than our duty in keeping all the commandments of our heavenly father, and in showing our faith in Christ, our true and perfect pattern. Let us all exclaim in the language of Paul, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, and Paul gives the reason why we should not be ashamed of the gospel, and a glorious one it is: Because it is the power of God unto salvation. What a glorious promise, if we hold out faithful, we have of entering into the joys of the Lord prepared for us from the foundation of the world."

OBITUARY.

By Nathan Fuller

DIED in Oswayo, Pa., Feb. 29th, Lucy Bramwall, aged 79 years and 9 months. Sister B. embraced the third angel's message one year before she died, and lived out the truth to the close of her life. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."

"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep."

In Memory of Sarah Bryan

By Frances Carlin

BRO. SMITH : Our beloved sister, Sarah Bryan, fell asleep in Jesus, in the vicinity of Balston Spa, Oct. 27th, 1859, aged 59 years. Her disease was consumption, with an enlargement of the liver. The last week of her illness her sufferings were very great, but she bore them all with Christian patience and resignation, and felt that she was ready to go at any moment when her Lord should call. Sister Bryan has been a believer in the advent near for many years ; and has kept the Sabbath of the Lord-for more than six years, being all this time a firm believer in all the present truth. She loved to read the pages of the Review. They were the only meetings she had for many months previous to her death, and even the day before she died, she took it and read it with delight. She died without a struggle, and now sweetly sleeps in Jesus, to await the morning of the resurrection. Her funeral was held at the meeting-house in the village of Ballston Spa. FRANCES CARLIN.

Communications for Future Insertion

By Editor

We are happy to be able to announce a good supply of communications on hand from many brethren and sisters for future insertion. Those whose productions do not immediately appear will please have patience. Meanwhile let the pens of our correspondents work on in the good cause.

Anti-Tobacco Journal

Numbers 2 and 3 of the Anti-Tobacco Journal, volume one, are received from George Trask, of Fitchburg, Mass., who is conducting a very commendable crusade against this portion of the realm of the power of darkness. Published quarterly. Three copies will be sent, post-paid, one year for one dollar. The author asks "the patronage of all who consider tobacco an evil, and will do their part to stop its ravages."

Cassell’s Illustrated Family Bible

By Editor

CASSELL'S ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE.—Part one of this new publication has fallen under our notice. As its name implies, it ahounds with copious and impressive illustrations, with foot notes. It is proposed to publish the Bihle in this manner in fifty numhers at fifteen cents each. When completed it will form a valuahle and interesting edition of the Holy Scriptures. Cassell, Petter & Galpin, publishers, 37 Park Row, New York city.

Tents.

By James White

We shall immediately order two Tents for Iowa, and send the pay with the order. The friends in Iowa will understand that we do this with borrowed money, and that we shall be pleased to have them pay their pledges as early as they can.

To the brethren in different States who wish to purchase Tents this spring, we would say, that if they think of purchasing them in Rochester, N. Y., where all our tents have been bought, they can address J. T. Orton, Rochester, N. Y. Bro. Orton is a good judge of Tents, and will with pleasure purchase them, if the cash accompanies the order.

To the Churches in Ohio.

By J. CLARKE

DEAR BRETHREN : Are we alive or dead? If the ministering servants of the Lord are disheartened about us, how must Jesus regard us who is our only help and advocate? Oh let us, every one of us, old and young, rich and poor, humble ourselves in the very dust. Let us cleanse ourselves from all impurity. Let us arise and shine in our Redeemer's light. Salvation is full and free; there is an abundance in our Father's house. Then shall we pine and hunger? Shall difficulties dishearten us? No; these shall rather strengthen us than weaken us. Shall divisions dissipate our joys, and disgrace this glorious cause? Nay, my brethren: let every true and humble heart bow before God, and beseech his blessing upon the cause among us. Then will the proud, the rebellious and indifferent ones be seized with trembling, and the church will be purified, and the work prospered. Let us arise. J. CLARKE.

A P P O I N T M E N T S.

By John Norton Loughborough

THE Lord willing, I will meet with the brethren in conference again, on my return home, at the house of Bro. Weed, in Tompkins, Sabbath and first-day, April 28th and 29th. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
