THERE are precious promises given,
For the heart with its anguish torn,
So that none without hope need sorrow,
And comfortless weep and mourn.
The grave would indeed be cheerless,
A cold inhospitable bed,
If instead of above and beyond it.
Our hope too went down with the dead.
But we know that the Life-giver Jesus,
In a little from this shall come,
The dead shall awake from their slumbers,
And the faithful of earth go home.
E. O. LINDSAY.
Patient Suffering Rewarded
Patient suffering, under God's dispensations, always meets with a rich reward.

The Sabbath.
By Oliver Hoffer
The following testimonies of good men in the past, show that they held that the Sabbath was instituted at the creation of the world, and observed from that time onward.
OLIVER HOFFER.
"The Sabbath was appointed at the creation of the world."—Rel. Enyc., Art. Sab.
"The appointment of the seventh day is a positive institution, as old indeed as the creation."—Cottage Bible.
"The seventh day was observed from Abraham, yea, from creation."—A. Campbell's Debate with Owen, p. 302.
"From the beginning, those who feared God, remembered the Sabbath-day to keep it holy."—Cottage Bible, Gen. 8.
"The Sabbath was instituted at the creation."—Bagster's Comprehensive Bible.
A Request.
Bro. White: We wish to say through the Review, that we would be glad to have a messenger locate in this part of Ohio. A house can be furnished in Arcada, a small village in Washington township, Hancock Co., on the railroad, about 8 miles from Finley, and about 30 from Fremont, 4 miles from the Sabbath keepers in Cass. We should expect him to labor where duty might call, and we think there would be no difficulty about his support. This place is central amongst the churches in Ohio. James Baker.
Cass, Ohio, Feb. 11, 1863.
Minnesota State Conference.
By Editor
THE next conference for the state of Minnesota of the Seventh-day Adventists will be held at Orinoco, Olmstead Co., Minn., commencing with the Sabbath, March 14, 1863, and continue over Sabbath and first-day. We wish to see a general gathering of the Seventh-day Adventists throughout the State. Brethren will come prepared for the most part to take care of themselves, as there is but one family of Sabbath-keepers in the place.
The Sabbath Lute.
By Editor
THIS, when finished, will be a book of 48 pages the size of our Hymn Book, and will contain the choicest collection of tunes and hymns that we, assisted by others, can obtain. We shall be ready for orders in a few weeks ; but as some are ordering it we would say that the price post paid, will be 25 cents.
We are still in want of a few choice hymns and tunes.
