Longing for Preaching

By Wm. Merry

From Bro. Merry.

Bro. SMITH: It is gratifying to receive our weekly messenger (Review and Herald) in so short a time after its publication; but O, that we could have some of the Brn. to refresh us with the words of eternal life.
It is now nearly three years since we have heard any preaching from which we could draw the sustenance that we require. How sad it is to be, Sabbath after Sabbath, without any one to cheer us on our pilgrimage, to comfort us with the words of life.
But it is cheering to know that we are remembered by our brethren in their prayers. I see that the Brn. are going with the tent in Iowa. This is cheering. It may be that duty will bring it to southern Minn., sometime hence. If not, we are thankful for the knowledge we already have of the word which is sure and steadfast.
Wm. MERRY.
St. Charles, Minn. July, 1858.
