Sister C. S. Hurlbut writes from Portland, Ct.: "I have been much profited in reading the Review, especially of late. I believe the counsel to the Laodiceans applies to us, and I mean to profit by it, to be zealous and repent, buy gold tried in the fire, white raiment, and eye-salve that I may see things as they are. I have a desire to know what the gold is. I have thought that it must be faith, but have almost come to the conclusion that it was love. Has there not been a great lack of love to God and to each other? It was said to one of the churches, because they had left their first love, "Thy candlestick I will remove out of his place except thou repent." Christ says, On these two (love to God and man) hang all the law and the prophets. O I want to love God with all my heart, mind, might and strength, and my neighbor as myself. "The little church here are rising. We met last Sabbath in Westfield, eight miles from this place. I was glad of the privilege of walking that distance to meet with a people that worship God in spirit and in truth. God wrought powerfully for us. My prayer is, that the work may go on until we stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."
