By Editor

Bro. A. G. Carter writes from Rubicon, Wis., Jan. 4th, 1858: "I believe if ever the Review was interesting, it is at the present time, and I pray the Lord to sustain you and all those connected with you in this great and last message of mercy. It is well calculated to reprove the erring, and encourage the way-worn traveler to the city of God. The Testimony in No. 8 is truly consoling to us. I fail to see how any lover of the truth can lightly speak of the Testimony for the Church.
"The little church here are striving to rise with the message. Three have embraced the truth here since the tent-meeting. Others have ventured to come in to our meetings. O may the Lord help every honest soul to see and understand the truth. I do believe the Lord will bless all honest souls. I think I can see that we as a little church in Rubicon are making some advancement in the present truth. The very atmosphere appears to be tainted with wickedness; but praise the Lord, the saints are striving to look up to Jesus that we may be protected from the evil around us. And although we are unworthy, the dear Lord is pleased to smile upon us with his blessing."
Sister S. M. Swan writes from Orwell, Ohio: "The paper is a great help to me, as I am entirely deprived of the society of those who keep the Sabbath. I love to hear of the progress of the cause in other places. It has been my prayer that the Lord would send some one here to proclaim his truth. Some of my neighbors who have read my papers have expressed a desire to hear more on the subject of present truth, and I think if they could hear, they might embrace it. I was in hopes when I heard of Bro. Ingraham's return to Penn., that he might visit us this Winter. We live only twenty-five miles from the western line of Penn."
