The Conference Address.
By Geo. J. Butler
We are very glad that the readers of the REVIEW have the privilege, this week, of reading the excellent and stirring Conference Address delivered by Eld. White at our last General Conference. The thoughts and suggestions contained in it are just such as our people need to consider at the present time. They are emphatically “meat in due season.” We hope they will have the thoughtful consideration of every friend of the cause. Stirring times are before us. Let us closely consider our present position, and act like sensible men in reference to it. If we do, we shall be greatly in earnest. The sentiments contained in this address were those with which the heart of Bro. White was filled when he arrived here, from his long journey from the Pacific coast. And if his heart has been chilled somewhat at times, by the little progress which has been made here at Battle Creek, since the Conference, and by feebleness of health, and by a lack, on the part of many, of earnest faith and ardent labor in the good cause, yet we are thankful he has had strength sufficient to revise and prepare this important address for the readers of the REVIEW to peruse. We are happy to say to the brethren generally that Bro. White has not had better hope and courage for years than at the present moment. We expect to hear a cheering testimony from him from time to time as God shall give him strength. We trust our brethren everywhere, will remember him in their prayers, that he may have strength to labor in the cause he loves. GEO. J. BUTLER.
