Note from Bro. Dorcas.

By Jesse Dorcas

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I would say to you through the Review, that we are now in Iowa; and, notwithstanding it seems like a singular providence that has brought us here, I believe this will turn to the glory of God and our salvation, through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Christ our Lord. I know that our trials are abounding, and I believe that our grace will also abound, as our day is.

We must be weaned from earth if we would be saved. For says the Apostle, virtually, "mind not earthly things." We reside at the eastern point of Red Oak Grove, in Cedar Co. We would be glad to have any of the friends of present truth call on us at any time, and feel that they have a brother living at Red Oak.

To Bro. Hull I extend a special invitation to call this way. The field is ripe here. I learn by hearsay that there is an Advent preacher living and preaching near Wilton Station. If he is one of those who are laboring in promotion of the Third Angel's Message, I would like to know where he lives, for I am a brother and a companion of all such.

Your brother in the patient waiting for Christ our King.

Jesse Dorcas.

Red Oak, Cedar Co., Iowa, Oct. 25th, 1858.
