A FEW THOUGHTS ON REV. XXI, 7.

Earlier text: FROM TITTABAWASSEE, MICH.

Two New Books Forthcoming.

By J. M. A.

INCIDENTS IN THE PAST LIFE OF ELD. JOSEPH BATES, and LIFE INCIDENTS BY ELD. JAMES WHITE, are the titles of two new and deeply interesting books of about 320 pages each, soon to be issued from this Office.

The manuscript for the former is already in the hands of the printer, and having set to work upon it an extra force of compositors, it will be ready in a very short time. This work has been in contemplation a long time. We now design to have it ready in a few weeks at the farthest. Those who have had the pleasure of reading Bro. Bates' series of articles that were put through the Youth's Instructor a few years' since, are somewhat prepared to judge of the merits of this book. Those articles, thoroughly revised, with additional matter of the same fascinating character, will comprise this new work.

The work of Bro. White will also be ready in a short time. See Bro. W.'s reference to it in another column. Those who have read “Life Incidents,” in recent numbers of the Review, can also anticipate and estimate the interesting character of his work. Those works, though similar in title, are entirely distinct in subject matter, each covering different ground from the other.

We speak for them both a large and ready sale. Composed as they are of incidents of the most thrilling interest in the life and experience of these pioneers of the cause, they will be greedily sought after by all the friends of the present truth.

Orders for these books, accompanied with the cash, may be sent in immediately. Our earliest attention will be given to those who subscribe in advance.

The price of each book will be $1.00. Postage on each, 12 cts.

For Bro. Mead.

By James White

Ira Abbey, $5.00, church at Adams Center, $9.00, Sister Chamberlain, $2.00, H. Maine, $1.00, Friends in Northern Michigan, $5.00.

When we first mentioned the case of this family we knew that the facts would move the sympathy of the people, and fearing that if we made a definite call for money, more would be sent in than needed, we made no such call. The friends can see the small sums receipted above, and of their abundance contribute as they choose to do, forward the same to us, and we will forward it, and make occasional acknowledgments in Review. James White.

Calls for Help.

By J. H. W.

We have now before us some most urgent calls for labor, from Maine even to Kansas. Truly, the harvest is plenteous, and the fields all ready to be occupied; but where are the laborers? We believe the Lord of the harvest is observing these calls, and hears the cries of those who long for light in these days of darkness and peril. When will the church awake to her responsibility, and cry in strong faith to our Father in Heaven for help? May the Lord pour the spirit of supplication on his people. J. H. W.

Meetings in New Vineyard.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

We have now been in this place a little over a week. The interest has been far above that which we could have expected. The opposition from certain ones has only served to increase the interest. We have occupied the Union meeting-house. The attendance has been from seventy to one hundred and fifty, which is a large congregation for so small a place as this. The resident Baptist minister has preached, and prayed, and exhorted against us, but with little or no effect thus far. The people will hear for themselves, and we think many are seriously investigating, and will judge candidly. They have taken our publications quite freely, which is a good sign. We expect to stay here some time yet.

D. M. CANRIGHT.

Appointments.

By I. D. VAN HORN.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

No preventing Providence, I will meet with the friends in Belleville, O., March 21, 22, and at Jackson, O., at the house of Bro. Hodgson, or as he may appoint, the 28th and 29th. I shall remain at this place two or three weeks, and hold meetings if the way opens. I. D. VAN HORN.

D. F. King: You will find answers to your questions in the pamphlet entitled, “Which? Mortal or Immortal?”

To the Church at Battle Creek.

By James White

Our dear brother Seneca King, as I write, lies upon my lounge with a badly fractured skull, and cut face. His horses ran away with him, and he was unconscious more than an hour. He was about one mile and a half from home. A man called, on his way for a surgeon, and informed us. Bro. and Sr. Strong were here. I drove my team to the place. He had just become conscious where he was, and what the matter was. We wrapped his head in cloths, and his body in blankets, and brought him here. A second surgeon is sent for. To see the hole in his head, and know that the skull is pressed upon the brain, gives one the idea that he is fatally injured. But he is sensible, and quite comfortable. I will write to-morrow.

Will you, as a church, remember him before the Lord. JAMES WHITE.

P. S. Bro. King seems to be doing well. Rested well last night. Surgeon thinks the inner layer of his skull not broken. J. W.
