A Call for Help.

Sister M. F. Tilden writes from Appleton, Wis.: "For years I have had my doubts whether I was keeping all the commandments of God. By the influence of one who kept the seventh day I was led to investigate the subject of keeping the Sabbath, to know which day was right according to the Bible. I promised to take the Review and pray away all prejudice and read it, and if I found anything contrary to the Bible to mark it down. I tried my best to find some flaw, or something that would not agree with the word of God.

"When I commenced reading the Review I was much prejudiced against anything that was called 'Millerism,' or the word advent; but thanks be to God that I ever become acquainted with any who are striving to keep all the commandments of God. I came last Fall to this place from the East. I cannot tell the joy I receive from reading the paper. I get all to read it I can. My husband is not a professor, but he seems to take great satisfaction in reading the paper. He says it is founded on the Bible. This paper expresses his mind and views on the Bible. He often says he would like to converse with some of the brethren. It is my prayer that some brother may visit this place. There are many who, I believe, are looking to see if these things are true. Many that I have conversed with have asked me to write you to send some brother to us that we may hear for ourselves. I believe if the people could hear some one explain the Word, there would be many who would embrace the whole truth."
