A Thank-Offering.

The following communication presents an example worthy of imitation. Bro. R. C. Hight, of Maine, sending $5 to be used in the advancement of the cause of truth, as a thank-offering, says:—

Bro. Smith: Here is a thank-offering to the Lord, for more than usual health the past fall. I feel truly thankful; and what shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits? We show our love by obedience, and I would not be found wanting in rendering offerings as well as tithes. I want to commence the year 1871, with renewed zeal and consecration to labor in the vineyard, knowing the night is far spent, the day is at hand.

The church in Cornville is being revived. A number of new converts have taken hold of the Sabbath, and we rejoice that the cause is not left to die out in Maine yet. Yea, we have faith that the work will move onward more than ever. Bless the Lord, O my soul! Such a meeting as we had last Sabbath, the last day of the year, we seldom enjoy. One old gentleman, nearly 70 years of age, confessed the truth of the Sabbath, and we rejoiced in the Lord for that. Strong young men and children also took hold of the work. We are greatly encouraged. Let us all come up to the help of the Lord, that the curse of Meroz be not ours.
