Reports from Jackson and Washington
Bro. H. S. Case writes from Jackson, Mich.,—"Since I wrote last, I have had the privilege of spending a few days with my old traveling companion, S. W. Rhodes, from whom I learned the third angel's message more perfectly. I am strengthened greatly in the present truth. I have never seen so complete and holy resignation to the will of God, as exists with the brethren in this place. They are all united, and their interests are one. All appear to be striving to attain to that state of holiness, which we so much need in order to meet the King in peace. I was glad to see the last paper, and know that you had commenced to publish again. If I know the wants of the Lord's people, we want such a paper at this time." Bro. Frederick Wheeler writes from Washington, N. H., Dec. 1,—"As it regards the state of the cause in this place, and vicinity, I would say, there is a little company who have been endeavoring to keep the Sabbath according to the commandment since 1844; and several have lately been led to embrace the truth of the third angel's message in full, and others are more or less interested in the subject. We hope they may yet be led to embrace the truth in full."
