COMMUNICATIONS.

“Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another.”

From Bro. Frisbie.

TOUR IN ILLINOIS.

WE have returned from Illinois after an absence of ten weeks. Our visit to that State was quite pleasant, although mostly among those who knew nothing of the present truth. There was quite an interest awakened in a number of new places, where we had good liberty in presenting the word. We sold some twenty dollars worth of books and sent in some fifteen new subscribers for the Review, as investigators, with the prospect that some will keep the Sabbath. We received several letters from different parts of the State, requesting us to visit them. We are sorry that we were not able to visit them, but we find by experience that it is necessary to stay in most any place some considerable length of time, in order to accomplish any great amount of good. In this way we were satisfied that it would have been an all-winter’s tour. But in the providence of God the time may not be far distant when we may visit that State again, and then we will try not to forget those friends who have written to us. It is often the case when an interest is awakened in one place it opens the way for others adjoining.
