From Bro. Daniels.

BRO. SMITH : We are still firm in the truth of the third angel's message. We have two more to go with us in this place. Bro and sister Ryle have commenced to keep the “commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” We meet every Sabbath for prayer, and believe the Lord meets with us. There are eight of us in all that can meet together to pray with and for each other. Some of the people are getting more interested in the truths of the third message, and some begin to search to see if these things are so. May the Lord help all such, that they may soon see the light, and commence to keep the Sabbath of our Lord.
I have been down to what is called the Chase settlement and held some meetings. Nearly all in the neighborhood were present through all the meetings, and on the last night every soul arose in acknowledgement of the truth. I spoke of the perpetuity of the law of God, showing that none of its precepts were abolished. Sinners wept, and others rejoiced for the privilege of hearing his blessed truth. I think eight or ten will come out and keep the Sabbath of the Lord. Pray for us that the little leaven may work until the whole lump is leavened.
I feel thankful to the Lord that he has given us some to go with us. He has answered prayer. We are not alone now. We soon can have a Sabbath school which we shall commence this Spring.
We have had from week to week the good company of the Review, and it has cheered our hearts to read the glorious truths it contains. We give and lend most all we get, and they are doing a great deal of good. We want books and papers here. They will preach to the people at their homes.
I believe, from what I see and hear, that the image of the beast will soon be made. I think the Sunday question will soon be a political question. Above all, I believe it will not be many years before Jesus will come. Pray for us that we may all be ready when that day comes. Then we all can meet in that better land.
