NOTE TO SISTER RICE.

By J. & C. Byington

DEAR SISTER RICE: Your letter in the Review, Vol. xix, No. 2, reminds us that we should speak often to each other, and as far as possible cheer the fainting mind. We remember the days when we were with you at the M. E. Church in St. Lawrence County, N. Y., and how the principles of reform brought us out of that church. We remember too, that God thrust us out again as he did Israel out of Egypt, when he brought us to keep his holy Sabbath; and we never shall forget the interview we had with you at your present home in Western N. Y. We may never meet again on this earth while it is under the curse, but may we meet on the earth made new.

We are trying, though in weakness, to do something for the Lord. After returning this fall from Indiana we thought further efforts should be made in our own school district. We therefore invited Bro. Cornell to come and labor with us. The meetings have been very interesting. Since he left we have had meetings twice in the week, and the house was well filled. The district are willing we should use the house every Sabbath; quite a number are obeying the truth.

In much love.

J. & C. BYINGTON.
