The Cause in the East.

By John Norton Loughborough

Review number 21 has just come to hand. As usual it is full of words of encouragement, and evidences of the onward progress of the work. It reports an interesting State Quarterly Meeting for Michigan, in which the directors present recommended that a pioneer paper, entitled The Voice of Truth, the size of the Advent Review and Herald of the Sabbath, be started with the new year, and that Michigan circulate 10,000 copies of it and the Health Reformer, and that the work commence immediately, so that as many as possible of the new subscribers shall commence with the new year.

Thus another means is to be added to the facilities for spreading the light of truth. Such things are surely tokens of progress.

We learn from the "Progress" department of the Review, that the work is moving on in all parts; that Bro. Andrews, with the brethren in Switzerland, is laying plans for active operations in spreading the truth there. In Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and Massachusetts interesting meetings are reported, and many are embracing the truth. J. N. L.
