COMMUNICATIONS.

By J. Ederton

From Bro. Ederton.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—Through the mercy of God I am again able to address you after a long and tedious blindness, caused by inflammation of my eyes. I have not been able to do anything of business, or labor, since the first of June, till the last of October. I have therefore been prevented making any communication or remittance to you before this. It has been a season of trial and of blessings to us since January last, for proclaiming the Advent near, and immortality and eternal life through Christ alone, and for maintaining the validity of the Lord's Sabbath.

The Baptist Church with which we have been connected over twenty years, and with whom we have walked in the ordinances of the gospel, we have been excluded from, without their giving us an opportunity of answering for ourselves or taking one step of gospel labor. This was done by changing the time of the meeting from its regular appointment. I went to the place of meeting at the usual hour and found they had met in the forenoon. But we rejoice that we are counted worthy to suffer reproach for Christ's sake, and that this truth they cannot take from us.

We love the Review and Herald as it comes to us with stores of gospel truth, and we sympathize with you in your labors of love.

I should be glad if some of our ministering brethren would call here as they are traveling east or west. I live in the town of Parma, ten miles south of Cleveland.

While some around us are saying we are led away with Lo heres, and Lo theres, we feel to rejoice that the truth will triumph. May the Lord help each and all of us to realize the time in which we live and enable us to do those things which are pleasing in his sight.

Yours in the fellowship of the gospel. J. EDERTON.
