Personal.

At our visit to the late S. D. Baptist Conference, we were happy to receive the cordial greeting of Eld. N. Wardner, pastor of the church with which the Conference was this year held, and who was delegate to our last General Conference, Dec. 29, 1871, and to form the acquaintance of many others of that people. Among these we may mention Eld. A. H. Lewis, of Berlin, Wis., Eld. G. B. Utter, of Westerly, R. I., Eld. J. Bailey, of Milton, Wis., Eld. N. V. Hull, editor of the Sabbath Recorder, Alfred, N. Y., Eld. D. E. Maxson, Plainfield, N. J., Eld. L. Crandall, N. Y. city, Prof. Williams of Alfred University, Alfred, N. Y., W. C. Whitford, Pres. of Milton College, Milton, Wis., A. R. Cornwall, A. M., Principal of the Albion (Wis) Academy, Eld. L. C. Rogers, Milton, Wis., and many other ministers of that denomination. What we saw convinced us that the cultivation of the intellect is no necessary barrier to consecration of heart; for these brethren seemed to have a love for the Sabbath cause, and the salvation of men which was good to behold. Our association with these and other members of the Conference, during which time we shared the generous hospitality of different members of the church at West Hallock, was very pleasant. And we hope to meet them when the blessing pronounced upon those who faithfully observe and teach the commandments of God is bestowed, and such enter in through the gates into the city. Matt. 5: 19; Rev. 22: 14.
