Pledge to the Publishing Association
Bro. J. B. Merritt writes from Cheney's Grove, Ills. : "The circular for pledges to the Publishing Association has just come to hand, being detained one week by irregular mail. I hasten to return it with my pledge for one share, as I desire to have a part in this matter. Living as I now am, remote from those of like faith, and feeling at times lonely indeed, I can truly thank the Lord for the intelligence that I receive weekly from the dear saints through the Review. I was sorely grieved when I first read of the secession movement, or hasty conclusions, of some of my old associates in Ohio ; yet I am glad to learn that they are disposed to retrace their steps in this thing, and have their errors corrected. O, that this spirit may be in us all, until we get on higher and holier ground."
