From Bro. Davis.

BRO. SMITH: We love to hear from our dear brethren and sisters through the Review; and in consideration of this, we feel it our duty to write a few words for the encouragement of those scattered abroad. Myself and companion are still trying to fight the good fight, and win the crown; but we feel very lonely since coming to Iowa. We have not met a brother or sister since we left the little church in Avon, Wis. Much do we miss them; but at the family altar we remember them and pray that the Lord may meet with and bless them with his holy Spirit, even as when we were with them, until we shall all meet where parting is no more.
We have not been to a meeting, or heard a sermon preached, since we left Wisconsin, about three months ago. We heard through the Review that Brn. Cornell and Hull were holding a meeting within thirty miles of us, but we could not attend. We pray that the Lord may soon be pleased to send them this way. There is a large field for labor here, but no laborers. How true the words of our Saviour, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth more laborers into his harvest." And we do pray that ere long he will send forth laborers into Marengo, Iowa Co., Iowa.
Yours hoping to stand on mount Zion.
