EASTERN TOUR.

By James White

Our long silence has not been because we have had nothing of interest to say to the readers of the REVIEW; but because we have not had time to write what we wished to say. In company with Bro. Loughborough we held conferences at Rochester, Roosevelt, Brookfield, Mannsville, Buck's Bridge, and Rouse's Point, N. Y.; Wolcott, Vt.; Washington, N. H.; Clinton and Boston, Mass., and Portland, Me. In all these places we were happily disappointed. Our meetings were free, spiritual, and interesting. The brethren east all stand firm. There has been some increase of numbers, with an advance in unity and spirituality. Be it known throughout the western field, that the old friends in the East are still the warm friends of the cause of Bible truth. We sold about $300 worth of books. Our wants were all cared for, our traveling expenses met, and we received the most affectionate and courteous attention. We reached home the 14th in good spirits, but much worn with constant labor. We are happy to be again in the midst of this dear people, who have advanced in spirituality, and have had several additions, in our absence, of those who had never before professed faith in Christ. Here we must remain most of the time for four months.

Further account of Eastern Tour hereafter.
