JNO. CLARKE

From Bro. Clarke.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: At our Sabbath meeting yesterday the church here unanimously agreed, that in consideration of our low and backslidden state as a church, we heartily co-inside with you in the necessity of holding a season of fasting, and prayer to God. Joel i, 14. We see and feel the need of supplicating our Father in heaven with earnest prayer, in behalf of ourselves and the cause, that God would revive his work and arouse his church, that we may have a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.
In behalf of the church of Seventh-day Adventists.

JNO. CLARKE

Lovett's Grove, Ohio, July 7. 1861.
P. S. I would say to you, dear Bro. White, that the opposition to organization here was before the last Fall conference, while we were in darkness, of which we have heartily repented, and do hereby acknowledge past errors. We will try in the future to honor and obey God's chosen leaders, lest we again fall into Satan's snare. I believe I speak the true sentiment of the church here.
Yours striving.
J. C.
