By D. C. Corcoran

[From Bro. Corcoran.]

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I think it a duty to state for your information and comfort, that the "Review and Herald," makes its periodical visits to me, and I am fully persuaded that it contains present truth; truth that sanctifies its sincere participants. It is now eighteen months or thereabouts since a beloved brother waited on me at my house, and his pious and holy conversation, his godly mode of address, and his expositions of the law of God, endeared him to me, although a stranger. Afterwards the "Review and Herald" being sent me, I have concluded that it was by his directions, and I must now say that the Sabbath question, about which I then disputed with him, is settled in my mind, by the unerring word of God. That is, the Scriptures of truth set forth no other day than the seventh as Sabbath day. I now see that the first day has been introduced by him that pretends to have power to change times and laws.

Dear brother, I wish you to continue the "Review and Herald." The paper I hand to any that will read it. Sister Estacy Young at Delaware, has been also led to see the necessity of giving up the first day Sabbath, also my beloved wife. We are not favored with any Second Advent preachers in this region of country, should any of the brethren be traveling near this place, I should be happy if they would visit us. A visit now from a brother in Christ would be very desirable. I am not in possession of much of this world's goods, but rich in faith. Praise the Lord.

I remain yours looking for, and hastening unto the coming of the Son of Man in his kingdom and glory.
