“He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”
Of late our hearts have been made glad, and we have been greatly encouraged, by the letters received by our V. M. society members in reply to those written. It is clearly evident to us that the Lord is working for his people; and never have we felt so great an interest in this work, and so much the need of entering into it whole-heartedly, as at the present time. I am deeply grateful to God that he has permitted me to bear some humble part in this great, closing work; and I would be admonished by the rapidly passing moments, that we have no time to lose, remembering also, that in the day of Judgment we shall be accountable for the improvement of these precious moments. Surely, “I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God,” and fill that place to divine acceptance, thereby obtaining the favor and blessing of the Lord, “than to dwell in the tents of wickedness,” and receive the applause of the world for a season. Christ says: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” And “the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” It is the earnest desire of my heart, to have a clear understanding of the will of God, and to perform it in his fear and love.
“At the feet of Jesus is the place for me;
There, in sweetest service, would I ever be.”
The following are a few extracts from letters received. A gentleman in Georgia to whom the SIGNS has been sent the past year, says: “I like the teachings of the paper the best of any I ever read. It is something new to this people. It is looked upon by some with contempt, and some think it the truth, I for one. I hope the cause may prosper, and it will if the Lord is in the work. I would go fifty miles to hear Mrs. White speak,—would rather hear her than any other person I ever heard of. I think she is a Christian lady.”
A professor in Virginia who has been reading the SIGNS the past two years, who has subscribed for the REFORMER for two years in succession, and to whom a copy of the REVIEW was recently sent, says: “In the REVIEW you sent me there is a most exquisite little gem, entitled, ‘Sometime’; but far above all do I value ‘Mount Hor.’ This is surely worthy to be preserved in a casket of gold. I thank you for it a thousand times.”
A gentleman in Alabama says: “Your kind favor is before me, which gives me much satisfaction. Your paper was gladly received. In answer to your request I send you the names of some of my neighbors; any of these, on the reception of a communication from you, will be most likely to respond to the favor.”
A young man in Kansas writes: “A few days ago I received some reading matter from you. You have my heartfelt thanks for your great kindness to me, a stranger. I like to read anything and everything good. I differ from you somewhat in my views; but I would not be selfish. I am open to conviction; and if you are willing to take the trouble to furnish papers, etc., I will be only too happy to read all you may be pleased to send.”
In a recent letter from Georgia, reference is made to a first-day Adventist minister from Alabama. He is a very intellectual man. He took several of our works, and subscribed for the REFORMER. Says he shall examine the Sabbath question, and if he sees the seventh day is the Sabbath, shall keep it, regardless of the frowns of any; he also says he wants the truth. He would be a host, if converted.
From one whose feet have been shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, but who has since wandered away: “Since the receipt of yours, I have been led to ask, ‘Why the inquiry as to my spiritual welfare and standing?’ Is it the Spirit of God that led you? Surely the ways of God are not our ways.”

Obituary Notices.
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died of consumption, at her home near Prairie Valley, Mo., March 10, 1878, sister Rachel M. Mallory, wife of J. H. Mallory, in the fifty-second year of her age. Her affliction was a long and painful one, requiring much patience and endurance. But her love for present truth and her interest in it never diminished. Her heart had rejoiced in it many years, she being the first one in the State to walk out on the Sabbath command. She was at that time a member of the Disciple church, and of course she had to suffer persecution; but she loved to dwell on her first experience in the work. O how precious the “hated” truth and the few who obeyed it seemed to her. And she ever manifested a zeal for its advancement. Her doors were always open for religious or business meetings; and her house, though spacious, was never too full of workers in the cause, neither of those who wanted to learn the truth; in fact, it was always a retreat for the friendless. She was beloved in the community. She left a husband and seven children. Having lived in this county forty-eight years, she left a host of old warm and tried friends.
Sister M. died in full faith in the soon-coming Saviour. Three days before her death, as her two daughters sat conversing in her room, she arose as by supernatural power and sat up in bed, exclaiming (while her countenance was all aglow), Do you see that bright, beautiful angel? She believed this was her summons to go hence in a few hours, so the next day she called her family around her bed and exhorted them to holiness of life, imploring them to meet her in the kingdom of God, bidding them a last farewell on earth. And oh, may her prayers, tears, and entreaties leave a lasting impression on their minds; but above all may they consider the death of the dear Saviour in their behalf, and allow a sense of his amazing love to lead them to perfect obedience, that they may be prepared to meet their mother on the other shore.
She chose a chapter and hymn for the occasion of her funeral. Eld. L. R. Long conducted the exercises in the presence of a large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors. Mrs. I. W. Ramsey.
Died of inflammation of the kidneys, in his home near Twin Lake, Muskegon Co., Mich., April 8, 1878, Bro. Joshua Rumsey, aged 61 years, 1 month, and 10 days. Bro. R. was converted about eight years ago and joined the Methodist church. He embraced the Sabbath nearly four years ago, and has since been trying to live up to the truth, which he loved dearly. He was willing to rest till Jesus comes. A wife and three children mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Job 14; 1 Thess. 4:13–18. GUSTAF CARLSTEDT.
Died at the residence of her son-in-law, at Gowen, Mich., April 6, 1878, Huldah F. Thompson, aged 71 years, 2 months, and 17 days. Mother Thompson embraced the Sabbath and kindred truths about five weeks before her death, that being the first opportunity she had ever had of hearing the truth. Funeral discourse by Eld. Crane (Methodist), from Eccl. 1:2. C. B. MAXFIELD.
NEW YORK.
By Chas. B. Reynolds
ASHVILLE, CHAUTAUQUA CO.—Our meetings here closed April 7. Despite the most persistent misrepresentation (always the strength of our opponents’ arguments), and the vigilant use of the stay-away argument, four adults have embraced the truth. We are not without hope that some of those who have confessed the truth, although they have only heard in part, will yet decide to obey.
BLOCKVILLE.—This church is making good advancement in the reforms, and is growing into the work. Last Sabbath one dear brother—for over forty years a user of tobacco to great excess—publicly abjured its use forever. This proves that even aged inveterates can become free from this disgusting habit.
EAST ELMA AND AURORA, ERIE CO.—Met with the friends at East Elma, April 11. Our Aurora camp-meeting made us very many earnest friends. There is a very urgent desire that a two or three weeks’ tent-meeting here may precede the camp-meeting. Hope such a meeting may be held.
EAGLE HARBOR, ORLEANS CO., APRIL 14.—Held five meetings at a new, neat, and pleasant place of worship, which has been fitted up since I left. The interest here is good. Bro. Gaskill’s discourses on Wednesday evenings and Sabbaths are well received. The Sabbath-school is a model in every respect. Patient perseverance is needed, and this will be a stronghold of the truth. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.
IOWA
Fremont, April 14.
I find the company at Fremont still rejoicing in the present truth. I have given nine discourses to good audiences, and found all our old friends anxious to hear. Three more good souls have signed the covenant. A leader has been chosen, and Sabbath meetings and Bible-class arranged for. We still have the free use of the Baptist church. We hope for other good souls soon. Many are giving up their idols, such as tobacco, tea, and coffee. May the Lord bless these dear ones and lead them into all truth. L. McCoy.
Bluff Creek Chapel, April 19.
No additions to the number of Sabbath-keepers have been made since my return. A few dear souls are deeply interested, and hungry for reading matter, which has been furnished. Closed meetings for the present, as the farmers, who are very busy with their spring work, are too tired when night comes to attend. They kindly invited me to return, and promised me the use of the house. I shall spend some days visiting from house to house among those with whom I have labored in the past. Pray for this work.

West Union, English Grove, and Grove Lake.
At West Union we held ten meetings, with good interest. Two commenced to keep the Sabbath; others were very much interested. We regretted to leave this field, as we think more would have been accomplished could we have staid another week.
March 13, we commenced meetings at English Grove, so near Lake Ellen that the members of that church could attend our meetings. The Lord blessed our labors here. Fourteen commenced to keep the Sabbath, seven were baptized, and eleven were added to the Lake Ellen church. Our short stay here bound our hearts to this people, and as we left them they expressed gratitude to God for sending them the truth.
We commenced meetings at Grove Lake, April 1. Held eleven meetings. We found this church somewhat discouraged. Faith and hope were waning. But the Spirit of God was in all our meetings, and we never spent a week more satisfactorily. Three commenced to keep the Sabbath.
As the result of the past five weeks’ labor, nineteen have embraced the truth; $120 have been added to the S. B.; and these churches have been very much encouraged, and all have determined to work more earnestly.

New Erie, April 15.
From the quarterly meeting at Lyndon I went to Orleans, and held meetings there during the forepart of the week. Tobacco is being laid aside, and some are drawing nearer to the Lord.
I then came to New Erie, and here met the United Brethren minister with whom I held a discussion on the Sabbath question four weeks ago at this place. At that time I gave him reading matter on that subject, which he says he has carefully perused, and has become convinced that Sunday came to be observed by a gradual process, for which he has found no divine command. I trust he will yet see the light of the third angel’s message, and walk in it.
Sunday I held meetings at Beaver City. I trust the way will open for future labor at this place.
CHAS. L. BOYD.
Seward, April 15.
I was with the Seward church at their quarterly meeting, April 13 and 14. The Lord met with us. Union and harmony prevailed among the brethren. Three were added to the church. The T. and M. quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 12 was held in connection with the church quarterly meeting.
By request I am now holding meetings at the court-house in Seward. Brethren, pray that truth may prevail over error.

Prejudices of Ignorance Versus Prejudices of Interest
The prejudices of ignorance are more easily removed than the prejudices of interest; the first are all blindly adopted, the second, willfully preferred.

Meetings at Oakland, Cal.
By James White
It has been our privilege to again visit Oakland during the annual meeting of the Pacific S. D. A. Publishing Association, and although we have done but little, we have been cheered by meeting the brethren and taking some part with them. On the Sabbath, 6th inst., we took part in the ordination services of our dear Bro. M. C. Israel to the work of the gospel ministry. Appropriate remarks were made on the occasion by Eld. Loughborough, ordination prayer by the writer, charge by Eld. Loughborough. It was an occasion of great solemnity.
In the evening of the same day it was our privilege to unite with Eld. Loughborough in the ordinances of the Lord’s house, in which the Oakland church, now much increased in numbers, took part. God has recently been blessing this people greatly, and there have been valuable accessions to the church. May grace, mercy, and the love of God abide with us till Jesus comes. J. W.
