By the Way.

By Editor

NOTES by the way is with us a novelty. Having been confined to the Review Office for over ten years so closely that the longest period of absence has been but a few days, and the greatest distance not over fifty miles, we have never had occasion, or perhaps opportunity, for this kind of writing. The present occasion has arisen on this wise.
We stated last week that Bro. White designed to accompany Bro. Dr. Lay on his return to Dansville. According to arrangement he left Battle Creek the 14th inst. By the advice of friends, and in order to enjoy the benefits of a little relaxation from the confinement and labors of Office duties, we accompany him. This morning, (the 15th) at 7 o'clock found us in Rochester, quite comfortable, through the combined agencies of sleeping cars, and a quick passage. Bro. White has endured the journey remarkably well. With the exception of being somewhat wearied, as was to be expected, no unfavorable effects are thus far experienced from the journey. We spend the Sabbath here, and proceed the first of the coming week to Dansville. That Bro. White will be able to accomplish the journey comfortably, through the blessing of the Lord, we are more than ever confident, and also that through the rest which he will enjoy at that place, and the healthful agencies there in operation, he will rapidly recover the vitality and energies which he has exhausted by arduous labors in the cause of truth.
During our absence, Bro. Amadon and sister Van Horn will furnish the readers of the Review with a well-filled paper. "Thoughts on the Revelation," like some persons of which the Revelation speaks, will "rest for a little season." We design to spend a few weeks at Dansville, hearing, seeing, practicing, and holding fast that which is good. And after a few weeks more, spent with friends in New Hampshire, near both by the ties of nature and the truth, and whom we have not seen for over ten years, we hope to return with renewed energies to the sphere of action in which at present it seems to be our lot to labor.
