Hope for Scattered Believers
By Editor
Bro P. E. Ferrin writes from Crane's Grove, Ills., Aug. 2nd 1857: 'Bro. Smith, I received the papers you sent and was very glad to see the welcome Review once more. I hope I shall not have to do without it for so long a time again as long as I live. It cheers our sad moments to hear from the beloved abroad. We feel to rejoice with those that do rejoice though we should weep alone. We do not feel discouraged, but we do feel lonely, and the time seems long when we think of those who are enjoying the blessed privileges that we are deprived of; but we hope and trust in God that he will raise up some to keep the commandments with us, and then we can have meetings on the Sabbath. Then may the truth triumph over error, and God's name be glorified in the salvation of many souls.'
