THE TWO COVENANTS
Earlier text: TO THE IOWA AND NEB. T. & M. DIRECTORS AND WORKERS

TAKE ME BY THE HAND, FATHER.

By Sol.

Oh! the heavy, heavy trials Pressing closely round my way: Take me by the hand, dear Father, All my weary soul doth pray. Clouds are gathering, wildly frowning With sad portent o’er my head; Sorrow’s waves roll darkly round me, Pathless wastes my footsteps tread.
Hold me in thy arms, dear Saviour! Bear, O bear me safely through; Save me from the misty darkness, Light of home, O let me view. Praise! the threat’ning clouds are lifting; Joy! the raging waters cease; Faith’s high towers light up in glory; Jesus sweetly whispers peace!
—Sol.

DESIRABLE TRIOS.

Some sensible person has given publicity to the following waif, which is certainly beautiful:—
Three things to love: Courage, gentleness, and affection.
Three things to admire: Intellectual power, dignity, and gracefulness.
Three things to hate: Cruelty, arrogance, and ingratitude.
Three things to delight in: Beauty, frankness, and freedom.
Three things to wish for: Health, friends, and a cheerful spirit.
Three things to avoid: Idleness, loquacity, and flippant jesting.
Three things to pray for: Faith, peace, and purity of heart.
Three things to contend for: Honor, country, and friends.
Three things to govern: Temper, tongue, and conduct.
Three things to think about: Life, death, and eternity.

Habit as a Great Help or Hindrance

HABIT is either a great help or a great hindrance.

Not Inferior.

By H. A. St. JOHN

HAVING briefly examined the new Health Almanac for 1877, we have no hesitancy in saying that it is not inferior to those of former years. On the contrary, it grows better, more practical, and is becoming better adapted to fill its important mission. Extend to it the right hand of fellowship, brethren, everywhere.
Bro. Wood says it ought to have a place in every well-regulated family. So say we, as it may assist in preserving good regulations. But we go farther. Give it a place in ill-regulated families in particular, as it proves, by the blessing of God, a noble regulator. It furnishes excellent rules for regulating families physically and socially; and who does not know how nearly indispensable these conditions are to a well-regulated religious family?
The health reform has done great things for us all; so let the light shine upon the gloomy path of thousands of our fellow-men around us.
H. A. St. JOHN.

The New Charts.

By James White

THE new Commandment and Prophetic Charts, on muslin, mounted, are offered at $3.00 a set, instead of $4.00, as previously stated. These are larger than the old ones, and much better executed. By some misunderstanding of the artist, they are delayed. We shall be able, however, to fill orders soon.
The charts cannot be forwarded by mail on rollers. With rollers by express, or without rollers by mail, post-paid, at the same price.

Money Wanted.

UNTIL certain ones pay their debts and pledges at this Office we shall be in pressing need of cash. And we invite those who can let the Association have the use of money without interest, until relief comes from those from whom it should come, to forward it in sums from $100 to $1000 for which the Association’s note will be returned.

Good Example.

By C. W. S.

New York T. and M. Society sets a good example for the circulation of our Almanac for 1877. A postal card just received contains the following:—
“Please send me by freight 10,000 Almanacs to Rome, N. Y.
“Please notice through REVIEW that until further notice my address will be Rome, N. Y., Box 113. B. L. Whitney.”
Mr. Editor: What is the reason you don’t send our REVIEW? We haven’t had our paper for the last two weeks. Now if our time is up, and it’s money you want, just say so, and you can have it; but don’t stop that paper again as long as the world stands! We are the only Seventh-day Adventists here, and we want the paper every week. Address, C. E. Ives.
Savannah, Wayne Co., N. Y.
P. S. Send the last three numbers.
Note.—Good! We are glad to know that when the REVIEW is not received, its loss is felt. The “last three numbers” are sent. C. W. S.

To Those Who Pledged for the Rome Meeting-House.

By B. L. Whitney

We request those who can do so without great inconvenience to pay a part or the whole of their pledges immediately. We are having our heaviest bills to meet now while we are building, and as far as possible, are endeavoring to pay as we go; and whatever can reasonably be paid in now will be very acceptable.
We do not, of course, claim this, as the pledges were made with the understanding, that they were not due till the first of April next; but we make this statement, that the brethren may know how we are situated, believing they will do what they can to help just now when help is needed. The work is progressing as well as could be expected, and we hope very soon to have a comfortable place of worship.
My P. O. address, till further notice, will be Rome, N. Y., box 113; and money may be sent to me here by draft or P. O. order.
B. L. WHITNEY.
Rome, N. Y., Oct. 20, 1876.
