A REMINISCENCE.

By J. S. M.

THE first Seventh-day Adventist I ever saw lived in Washington county, R. I. Some one (he never knew who) sent him a few numbers of the REVIEW. This was about twenty-five years ago. He was pleased with it and subscribed for it, taking it ever after until his death. For many years he was the only Seventh-day Adventist in Washington county, but he lived to see three churches raised up within a few miles of him, and to see other members of his own family brought into the faith. The last act of his life was to attend a Seventh-day Adventist meeting, and he was drowned while on his way home.

Should the person who sent him the REVIEW ever get into the kingdom, and there meet old Bro. Holloway, will it not be reward enough? The fields are white for the harvest, but where are the laborers? We cannot all be lecturers, we cannot all fill responsible positions; but we can all send a paper to some one who may be benefited. J. S. M.
