A Call for Laborers in Iowa
Bro. E. P. Wilkins writes from Wilson's Grove, Iowa, Oct. 25th, 1859: “I have been trying in my weak way to do what I could for the advancement of the cause. There are at present some ten or twelve Sabbath-keepers within one mile of West Union, besides occasionally a lonely one scattered in different directions, some of whom have lately embraced the Sabbath. We meet every Sabbath, and the Lord is with us. Although most of them are somewhat ignorant in regard to the third angel's message, still their minds are tender, and they, with a large number of the members of the Christian church at Union, are looking for the soon coming of the Saviour. I am certain there might be much good done here if we could have the message proclaimed. Will some brother come this way? “Most of us are poor, especially those who are decidedly Adventists. I am an old man, my health is very poor, and am unable to do anything for the cause save what little I can do by precept and example. I am very thankful for the continuance of the Review. I let my neighbors read it, and feel to thank God for the influence it has shed abroad.”
