From Bro. Gallemore.

It is with pleasure that we now attempt to speak a word in behalf of present truth, which, we are happy to state, becomes clearer to our mind, and more precious from day to day. Our greatest wonder is, that more do not see the truth, embrace it, and come out fully on the side of the Lord, keep his commandments, and walk humbly before him. Could the people, or would they, see that the last warning message was now going forth to a dying world, there would certainly be a mighty humbling before the Lord, and the precious truths connected with the near advent of the Saviour would have the proper solemn and sanctifying effect. But for unbelief and lack of watchfulness, this mighty and crowning event must “come upon the world as a snare.” Solemn thought it is; but they who believe divine inspiration cannot doubt it. Man though will not go down unwarned. The Lord is the same now and forever, and he has never dealt thus; and why should the world scoff at the idea that God’s faithful servants are now engaged in the solemn work of delivering the last warning message to the world prior to its destruction? It is a thing impossible for the faithful watchman to answer the interrogation, “Watchman, what of the night?”

The truth looks plain, though, aside from our own family, we know of no Seventh-day Adventists hereabouts. Alone, we are endeavoring to live out the truth as best we can. We accepted it over two years since at Hamilton, and as we get deeper into the light of it the more precious it becomes. It has never been publicly proclaimed in this place, but we hope that in the order of providence it may be soon. The people here know but little or nothing about it, as a general thing. There appears to be a few honest souls here who might be warned and fall in with the truth.
