An Address.

By E. B. Lane

I wish to say to the brethren in Ohio, and other places where we have been earnestly requested to labor this coming season, that the New England Conference was chosen on account of health. In the different fields of our labor, for the past few years, we have been suffering much from bilious diseases, especially fever and ague. Considering all things, it was thought best for us to spend a season or more in this climate. We have come none too soon; for Mrs. Lane has been having the ague for several days past, and I am carrying on a tent-meeting alone, having it regularly every other day. I suppose I have brought it with me; for I have had it before this spring. I expect help soon.

This is a country almost entirely free from such complaints, as very few here know anything about them. I regret that I cannot labor among old tried friends who have so earnestly requested us to come and help them. But I am satisfied that all is for the best. We hope and pray for good health, and the blessing of God, that we may do much good wherever we may be, and to this end we ask the prayers of all who have an interest at the throne of grace. Dear brethren, I hope to meet you all in the kingdom of God. For this let us all strive.

Yours in much Christian love.

E. B. LANE.
