Conference Department.

Exhorting one another, and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. Heb. v. 25.

This Department is designed to fill the same place in the paper that the Conference or Social Meeting does in the worship of God. Speak often one to another to comfort, edify and aid each other in the way of holiness and true Christian experience.

From Bro. Ells.

Bro. Smith: Having been a reader of the Review for the last five years, and a firm believer in the sacred truths it advocates, I deem it my duty to add my testimony with those of like precious faith, scattered abroad, in favor of present truth. There is, in this place, a little company of seven; and we deem it our first duty to try to get ready for the soon coming of our dear Saviour; and to this end we are striving by grace divine, to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We heartily adopt, and are trying to live out the Health Reform, believing it to be the means which God has appointed to prepare the saints to stand through the time of trouble that is just before us.

We have prayer-meeting and Bible Class every Sabbath, and feel that the Lord meets with us. The Review is nearly all the preaching we have, and we hail its weekly visits with joy. Oh how thankful I am that I have had the privilege of hearing the third angel’s message, and have a disposition to live so that I can claim the promise to the overcomer.

Yours striving for the kingdom.
