A Call for a Preacher

BRO. A. K. ATTEBERRY writes from Wayne Co., Ill.: The REVIEW comes regularly to hand, and we are delighted with it. It is the only preacher we have here that gives us any light on present truth. My wife and I are the only Sabbath-keepers of whom I have any knowledge within ten miles of this place, and we have never heard but three lectures by a commandment-keeper. You cannot perhaps imagine how sincerely we desire the presence of a living instructor among us, both on our own account and that of our friends and neighbors. We think there are many well-disposed persons in this community who would gladly receive the truth, could they but hear it. But “how shall they hear without a preacher?” There is also a good meeting-house here, the use of which we think could be procured for almost any length of time desired. Now is there no one who can find time to come and instruct us? We have been waiting long and anxiously.
