E. MACOMBER

By E. Macomber

From Bro. Macomber.

Bro. Smith: I am persuaded that much good might be done if some brother of the commandment-keepers, one who is furnished to every good word and work, would visit the Rhode Island general conference to be

held the last week of this month, commencing on fourth-day, and ending on seventh-day evening. One half of the days are open for discussion on any subject from the blessed word of God.

The most prominent members of the conference have used me very kindly, and are ready to hear on the subject of the Sabbath of the Lord, and said to me that I must write to you to get some one to come and open these things to them, as they are anxious to see if these things are so. I believe that they are hungering for righteousness, and the promise is that they shall be filled; but you know that the truth must be held up, and it is necessary that some one should rightly divide the word that each may have a portion of meat in due season.

Bro. D. of Peacedale, R. I., has been with the seventh day brethren here, and has given the good word of the Lord, but he has not decided on the fourth commandment, that is, he thinks he fulfills the commandment in keeping the first day.

Now I do believe that much good might be done here in the East. Will some faithful brother hear this Macedonian cry and come and help? May God direct for the Redeemer's sake. Amen.

Dear brethren, we are praising God, and trying to obey the commandments, and have the faith of Jesus, and are looking for the blessed Lord to come. There are fifteen of us here, brethren and sisters, who meet every seventh day, and believe this is the Sabbath of the Lord our God, and we would like to have some one filled with the Spirit of the Lord, come and make us a visit. The Lord direct in this matter, is my prayer.

Yours looking for the Lord to come soon.
