THE RIGHT WORD IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

A BROTHER in Ohio writes to me as follows of Testimony No 6: "I fully believe it is a testimony for the church. There are many things I know are true; and what I do not know, I fully believe. That the church ought to be of one heart and one faith I never have doubted; and I have faith, abiding faith, that the church are coming to that point; and I hope and pray to be one of that church.
"You are aware how I have felt about organization, that I have been fearful of the result. I will now say that those fears are gone."
Of the last conference he says, "I was satisfied that Bro. White was to be pitied; that he needed the prayers of the church more than their frowns. To sum it up in a few words, reason has triumphed, and there is one at least in Ohio that loves and respects Bro. and sister White."
I thank the brother for this kindly expression, and I can assure him that there are more than one in Ohio who cherish the same feeling; and I am not without hope that reason will yet triumph over prejudice, and all will unite with him in this sentiment.
I would ask the brethren and sisters to remember the cause in Ohio in their prayers. The cause of the third angel's message there is in a critical position, and the few who are struggling for unity with the body need your sympathy and your prayers. J. H. W.
