From Bro. Hinton.

By W. T. HINTON

BRO. SMITH: I would say to the brethren scattered abroad, that I still love the precious truths of the third angel's message. I love the Review, and prize its weekly visits very highly. I am glad that the cause has so prospered as to require the first and second enlargements of the paper. I would now try to contribute my mite to make it interesting to others as it is to me, as I scan its truthful pages.

I am here alone in this part of Iowa, tried and tempted, with none of like faith to meet with from Sabbath to Sabbath as many of you have. Still, by God's grace I am determined to make my way to Mount Zion. My hardest struggle is to conquer self, to crucify it to the world and to the lusts of the flesh. Oh! how I want to be made willing to do little, small errands for my Saviour. My heart is full of the pride of life; but I am determined to have it all eradicated, so that when Jesus comes, I can go with my dear brethren to the Christian's home in Heaven. I want to see Jesus and the holy angels, and the golden streets of the New Jerusalem, where we shall meet with no more of the conflicts of this life.

I would say, I am a health reformer as far as it is my privilege to be, or as far as I can consistently be. I am a firm believer in the health reform, and would gladly enter into it.

May God bless it to the good of all who can improve upon its blessings.
