Caution Regarding Moving West
By James White
NOTE.—We publish Bro. Rogers’ reply to Bro. Ramsey’s “word of advice,” as he informs us the brethren feel grieved with Bro. Ramsey’s article. I did not see Bro. Ramsey’s note till after its appearance in the paper. I then thought it was too unguarded in its ex pressions. My own observation of soil and crops in Northern Missouri forbid my receiving his statement in full, while I fully indorse the advice to such as are “well situated in the East.” The spirit of moving has ruined multitudes. We would be glad to know that proper caution was observed in all cases in this respect. Few are aware of the trials and privations to which they subject themselves in moving so far, and especially to a new country. “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” J. H. W.
