From Sister Stewart.

BRO. SMITH: We deem it a great privilege to read the Review from week to week, and especially the many cheering words in the Conference Department from lonely ones like ourselves. It is almost one year since we began to keep the Sabbath, and my husband is the only one of like faith I ever saw. It was through him that I was led to see the light.

Our friends and neighbors think us a strange people, and our manner of serving God a stranger one. An old lady called to-day on some business, and on being told that we did not transact business on the Sabbath day, began to make inquiries, and seemed anxious to know more concerning our belief. We loaned her the tract, “Who Changed the Sabbath?” and promised the loan of our papers if she liked. We think this an excellent place for a minister, as there are many non-professors, and several have expressed a willingness to believe. Should any ministers be passing through St. Joseph, Mo., we would be glad to have them call on us; or, if we could be notified through the Review what time they would be here, we would meet them at the depot, and convey them to our house. We live three miles north-west of the city.

Remember us, dear brethren and sisters, in your prayers, that we be not found lacking in the day of the Lord, but may stand with the ransomed host on Mount Zion.

Yours in hope of eternal life.
