BRO. GOODWIN'S CASE.

By C. O. TAYLOR; JAMES WHITE; ELLEN. G. WHITE

BRO. SMITH: We have been laboring for Bro. Goodwin and others connected with him, for two weeks. He is not yet free, but much better. The enemy had bound him with many cords. Some of them are broken off. Still he cannot see that the Lord is working for him, therefore he cannot feel there is mercy for him, consequently has no hope.
During these two weeks we have had one and often two seasons of prayer and counsel each day, powerful manifestations of the Spirit of God; we have given ourselves wholly to the Lord, for the delivery of this dear brother, whether it take a short or long time. Bro. G. has been in hopeless despair for fourteen months; every ray of Heaven's light and blessings have been shut out. But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, his captivity is turned, and the day of his complete deliverance is not far distant. We are having a new experience with the powers of darkness; in Jesus' name we conquer. My solemn warning is to all: Keep in the narrow way; don't fall into the hands of giant Despair.
Bro. Edson is a little better, yet his recovery is very slow. It now looks as though he might continue to gain and recover a degree of health once more.
C. O. TAYLOR. March, 1868.

THE DANES.

At Greenbush, we received letters from Greenville, and on our way to Alma in company with Bro. Andrews, read them with interest. But the following note, partly by reason of our happy acquaintance with this people in Wisconsin last fall, and partly for its general interest to all believers, was read with much pleasure.
We shall be happy to furnish such of every tongue, and kindred, and nation, who can make a like good use of them. JAMES WHITE, ELLEN. G. WHITE.
“I am a native of Denmark and a member of the Poy Sippi church. This branch of the church is all Danes, and but a few can read English. We have our meetings in the Danish language, and it has been my duty to translate Testimonies, No. 12 and 13, to them one hour every Sabbath. This has had a good effect on some.
“And the dress reform has been adopted by the most of the sisters. But I think they have not the right pattern. Therefore, please to find inclosed, fifty cents for which you will please send a pattern.
“Your unworthy brother in Christ, “CHESTER JESSON.”
