Meeting in Battle Creek.

According to appointment, Bro. and sister White, and Bro. Andrews, met with the church here, Sabbath, Jan. 11. We were happy to welcome them once more into our midst, and listen to their stirring and instructive testimonies. We were glad to see Bro. and sister White give evidence of having endured the wearing labors of their eastern tour, so well. Sabbath forenoon, discourse from Bro. White on the parable of the lost sheep, followed by an account of the profitable seasons they had enjoyed, and the good work of the Lord, which they had seen since they last met with us, some twelve weeks since.

Discourse in the afternoon by Bro. Andrews, followed by a solemn and impressive appeal from sister White. The rehearsal of the work of the Lord on their eastern tour, in the correction of wrongs, the reclaiming of backsliders, and the accession of new converts to the truth, was especially encouraging.

First-day forenoon, Sister White occupied the time with an account of absorbing interest of what she had seen relative to the view given to Moses of the land of Canaan, typical and antitypical, and the meeting in the immortal state, of the two Adams, the first by whom all was lost, and the second by whom the redemption had been accomplished. The value of the great salvation, and everlasting life, was impressed upon all hearts susceptible of feeling, in a manner not soon to be forgotten.

At the conclusion of this meeting, the “Appeal to the Friends of Truth,” found in another column, was read by Bro. White, whereupon by a rising vote, the meeting unanimously endorsed it, and ordered it published in the Review. The brethren whose names accompany the article then subscribed the amounts stated toward the object named. It is a document which carries with it its own arguments, and needs no recommendation from us. We commend it to the prayerful consideration of all the brethren, and trust they will be no less ready than those here, to aid in this important enterprise.

Five offered themselves for baptism, which is to be attended to third-day morning at half-past six. The meetings have been well attended. We thank the Lord for this visit of his tried servants.

D. M. CANRIGHT. Your article is received, but too late for this number. Go on with the series you propose.

BRETHREN who have ready means which they can spare as well as not for a short time, will confer a great favor on the office by depositing it with us, subject to their order. We have occasion to use a few hundred dollars more than is just now at our command. J. M. A.

Brief Summary of Labors.

By James White

We have not had time to give full reports of labors for the past two months, and will now give but a brief summary for the past twenty weeks as follows:

We have, in this time, traveled by railroad 3200 miles, and by private conveyance 600. Have held 140 meetings, and preached 60 times, and have spoken more or less in nearly all these meetings. Mrs. W. has spoken from half an hour to two hours in more than 100 of these meetings. We have assisted in the ordination of four ministers, and the dedication of one house of worship. Have presided in the examination of 150 candidates for baptism, and have baptized 18. Have been present where three couple have been married in the Lord, where the services and ceremonies have been characterized by the simplicity and solemnity of the religion of Christ, and have officiated in the solemnities of one occasion.

We have returned to this dear people, weary and worn, where we share their full sympathy, and where Mrs. W. and self are heard as in former days.

We leave for our good home in Greenville the 15th, where we hope to hear from friends.

JAMES WHITE.

A GLORIOUS THING.—When John Foster was prostrated by disease, when his noble intellect was like a strong man fettered, his friend said: “It must be a hard thing for you to lie here unable to write, unable even to think,” “Yes,” he replied; “but I can pray, and that is a glorious thing.”

We have no Bible Class Report this week, from the fact that the first Sabbath in the year, Jan. 4, was observed by this church as a day of fasting and prayer in view of the important year upon which we have entered. The day was occupied with one long meeting. After some remarks by Bro. Gage on Acts xxiv, 25, the substance of which, at our request, he will soon furnish for the Review, one hundred and thirty testimonies were borne. The meeting was one of interest. Many noble resolutions were formed and expressed. Each one seemed to be desirous of commencing the year aright, and making its days, weeks and months, all fruitful seasons of spiritual advancement and prosperity.
