BRO. WHITE: While the hand of affliction has been laid upon us, we have felt that truly God was very merciful. He has raised my companion from a bed of sickness, and we feel that we want to be in that humble place where he may still work for us, and shed increasing light upon us. The little company of Sabbath-keepers here are still striving to urge their way forward. It seems as though the truths of God's word never seemed so precious as at the present time. Yet how hard the enemy tries to draw away the child of God, and scatter darkness over our minds. But what a cheering thought it is that the power of the enemy is soon to be broken. God's children are soon to come off victorious over the great power of darkness, and if faithful, will soon stand upon the sea of glass, and "then shall we ever be with the Lord." Oh, happy thought! Will this ever be my lot? I know that the grace of God is sufficient for me in every time of need. He will help us to overcome, and finally to reign with him in his kingdom. Your sister in hope of eternal life.

Lectures at Bunker Hill
Bro. J. B. Frisbie writes from Bunker Hill, Mich.: Bro. Van Horn and myself have joined in giving a course of lectures in Bro. Curry's neighborhood, where a good interest has commenced, and the prospects are flattering that good may be done. I believe that the few who are keeping the Sabbath here have never heard a course of lectures. The Lord has given us good liberty so far. O, how we feel the importance of leaning upon the arm of God for support.
The Waukon Church Arising
Bro R. W. Bullock writes from Waukon, Iowa: The church in Waukon is trying to rise and get on to higher grounds. Bro. Sanborn has been here and I think his labors were not in vain. The church never felt more determined to move forward than it does at the present time. We thank God that he sent Bro. S. here, to show us our condition, and help us to arise.
God's Unchanging Methods
God never alters his methods. We may hurry ourselves, but we cannot hurry him. After all, the grass takes just as long to grow, and the oak-tree to develop, and the great processes of nature to unfold themselves. And we may be sure that just so much effort must go to just so much result. The great laws of God must be obeyed, or the rewards which follow the obedience of those laws will not come.

Bro. Jesse Huestand of Palestine, Crawford co. Ills. sends us the following:—
"I here send you twenty dollars being about one tenth of my prosperity for the past year, five dollars I wish to give to J. N. Andrews for what good he has done, or for what light I have received in reading his publications."
The spirit of gratitude and benevolence seen in the above is worthy of imitation. We suppose Bro. H. is alone, or nearly so, from his sending the results of his Systematic Benevolence to this office.
He has well done in remembering Bro. Andrews. Some will rejoice in the truth, and at the same time forget those who have struggled with poverty, and worn out the very best of their lives, in bringing out the truth of God's word, and spreading it before their fellow men.
There are very many admirers of Bro. Andrews' works on the Sanctuary, the Messages, and especially the History of the Sabbath, the praise of which is in all the churches. Thousands talk freely of the excellence of these works. This may be some consolation to the worn author; but after all, brethren, words are cheap. Actions better show how much we prize the labors of such men. Bro. H. gives $5 for the good Bro. Andrews' writings have done him. We want to give $5 for what good they have done us, and $20 for what good they have done and will do others. Here is a chance, brethren, to show how much you prize the labors of this pioneer in the cause.
"But what shall be done with the means?" This we will now tell you. Bro. Andrews is homeless. We propose that the money be put into the hands of the General Conference Committee, for Bro. Andrews, with whom he may consult relative to his location and its appropriation. Brethren, may we not in part atone for the wrong in helping such untried geniuses as Shortridge and Hull, to homes, by doing as much at least for Bro. Andrews, whose arduous labors date back to the very commencement of the cause?
We wish to show our gratitude to Bro. Andrews for the influence of his able works to the amount of $25, to be paid by the first day of April, 1864. Those who wish to respond to these suggestions, can do so by sending their pledges, with or without the money, from one to one hundred dollars, which will be acknowledged by letter.
Note from Bro. Andrews.
By John Nevins Andrews
I WOULD be glad to write you often, and also to write much for the Review; but my head at present will not enable me to do it. In your affliction we feel to sympathize deeply. I think no day has passed in which I have not felt to offer earnest prayer for you, that you might be sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit in your heavy bereavement.
When I read in the Review the testimony concerning poor M. H. I felt in my heart to thank God for such a gift in the church. It seemed to me that none who should read that could doubt the heavenly origin of the warning. For my own part I feel that God is doing much for me and that I am not only willing to be reproved, but that I feel the value of such reproofs for my own good. I gratefully acknowledge the receipt of No. 10. I design soon to send for quite a number. But money cannot repay the instruction there communicated.
