Calls for Help.

By Editor

Elder Isaac Sanborn of the Wisconsin Conference writes from Baraboo, Wis., Feb. 24, 1875, under the heading of The Calls for Help :-

“A few weeks ago, I put a notice in the Review without qualification, requesting any one who wanted preaching in his locality to write to me. Within ten days I have received twenty letters calling for help; one from New Jersey; three from Illinois; five from Iowa; five from Wisconsin; the rest from Kansas, Dakotah, Nebraska, and New York. And I consider most all of them good openings. But where are the consecrated men to fill these calls? Truly the harvest is great, and the laborers are few. Why should we not pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into his harvest? I notice that several of these calls are the result of an interest awakened by reading a tract or a trial volume of the Review, which has caused the readers to see light in God’s word. Some have already commenced keeping the Sabbath, and are calling for preaching. May the Lord send them the living preacher soon.”
