Note from Bro. White.

By James White

After the close of the Bristol (Vt.) Tent-meeting we tarried one night and a part of a day with Bro. Everts and family, of New Haven, who kindly cared for us, and aided us on our way to Boston. We also spent a few days very happily with Bro. Nichols' family of Dorchester, and Bro. Folsom's of Summerville. The Lord reward them for all their kind and benevolent acts to pilgrims. At Portland, Me., we called on Brn. Chamberlain and Lunt, and were glad to find a few in that city still on the rock of truth. Some have recently become specially interested in the truth. Sabbath, Aug. 4th, met with old friends in Topsham, and were refreshed.

On First-day, in company with several brethren, we attended the meeting of Bro. L. I. Howard, about two miles from Brunswick Village. By invitation of Bro. H. we spoke in the forenoon on the three angels of Rev. xiv. In the afternoon Bro. H. gave a very appropriate and instructive discourse on the exhortation of the apostle James to his brethren to be patient unto the coming of the Lord. His scriptural positions in regard to the organization and perfection of the Church of God, and the restoration of the gifts, were highly interesting. In the evening we spoke on the law of God and the Sabbath, after which several spirited testimonies were given. Bro. H. received his first second advent principles from our lectures in that vicinity about twelve years since. For some years he has been a preacher, and for a year or more took part in the recent time movement. We were indeed happy to meet him again, occupying so good ground. The Lord help him to see clearly the third and last message for the church, and gird on the armor anew for the final conflict. We design returning to Rochester the first of September. J. W.
