Bro. M. B. Czechowski.

By James White

THIS brother feels very grateful to the friends who have assisted him. Brn. Taylor and Whipple have done much for him, considering their circumstances, for which Bro. C. is very grateful. It is fortunate for Bro. C. that he is near those brethren who have a care for him, and are well qualified to counsel with him in matters pertaining to his mission. We left with Bro. C. $80 to raise a mortgage from his place, and repair his house. A part of this has been handed to us by the brethren. Bro. C. needs help now to meet the daily wants of his family. Those who esteem it a pleasure to assist him in his mission, and help make up the sum we have advanced, can send means to this Office, or to C. O. Taylor, Rouse's Point, N. Y.

Brethren, you will not forget this Polish brother. Once he stood high as a priest in the church of Rome. For endeavoring to reform that corrupt church he suffered two years' imprisonment, was obliged to flee to England. He came to this country penniless, and in this land of plenty has felt pinching hunger, and has suffered for clothing. Yet he has labored cheerfully and zealously to teach the French people, and lead them to Christ. Providence has placed him with us. We will have a care for him. Be assured, dear brethren, that Bro. C. has great confidence in you, and rejoices greatly that he has at last found the true church. He is fully decided to go with this people. He believes that God is leading them, and feels safest in going with the body, rather than to follow his own judgment. This is a safe position for us all. Here is Bro. C.'s safety. May he ever keep in this position, lest his active mind, and zeal for the Lord, lead him too far. Others may be ungrateful for what the brethren do for them; but be assured that Bro. C. feels the deepest gratitude. When you enjoy plenty and peace of mind, remember that your brother may be in want, and great anxiety how he shall do his duty to his family, and fulfill his mission. Pray for him, and of your abundance send along something to supply his wants. JAMES WHITE.
