To the Brethren in New England.
By John Nevins Andrews
Bro. Canright and myself purpose to leave for the Eastern Mission on Monday July 2. We design to call at South Lancaster, Mass., July 3; and to spend the Sabbath July 7th, in Norridgewock, Maine. We purpose to begin our labors there and hope during the season to visit and labor with all the churches in New England. We will do our utmost to fulfill the demands for labor, and we ask our brethren to have all possible patience. We also ask your hearty, prayerful co-operation in the work. I have thus far been necessarily detained this way, but have done all in my power to hasten the time of our departure. I trust we shall see of the salvation of God the coming year. I cannot refrain from calling your attention to the case of Eld. D. M. Hanscom of Strickland's Ferry, Maine. In the last Review Bro. Howard states the fact that Eld. Hanscom is still confined to his bed with sickness as he has been for several months past. I have reason to believe that he is in need of assistance, and I feel warranted in saying, that he is worthy of it. I ask the brethren to remember him in this time of distress. Eld. Hanscom has shown his willingness to give all for Christ. I trust he will not be left to suffer. J. N. ANDREWS.
