The Scattered Ones.

By A. S. Hutchins

It has been a pleasure to us to visit some of the scattered brethren and sisters, in different towns in Northern Vermont, within a few weeks. Some of these lonely ones had not seen a preacher of our faith for years. And long years had passed away since some of them had attended any of our meetings. Yet they manifest a strong love for, and confidence in, the truths of the last message of mercy.
The REVIEW, and other publications from our publishing house, they read with interest. Sweet and welcome, yea, thrice welcome, the visits of these silent, but comforting and instructive, messengers to the homes of the dear isolated ones. The friends who furnish the poor and afflicted ones with the REVIEW, books, and pamphlets, on present truth, are certainly doing a noble work. May the Lord bless them in these worthy acts of kindness.
The children of Bro. J. Hart, living in the West, may be sure that their remembrance of, and care for, their afflicted aunt, of this State, in gratuitously furnishing her with publications from the REVIEW Office, are appreciated by her.
Although Sr. Russ has not walked a step for years, yet the blessed hope cheers her heart; and she seems cheerful and buoyant in the Lord. Praise his holy name that the time hastens on when the “eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing.”
A. S. HUTCHINS.
