"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."

From Bro. Jones.

BRO. WHITE: I improve this opportunity of making known our situation and feelings through the pages of the Review to brethren and sisters scattered abroad. It is about two years since we embraced present truth under the proclamation of the "third angel's message." We were then living in the state of Michigan, having moved west since that time into Ills. We are still trying to keep the commandments of God and faith of Jesus. We have been deprived of the good instructions of the Review until a few weeks past and how glad we were to again peruse its pages and follow its good instructions. We have not had the privilege of seeing or conversing with any one who is keeping the commandments of God since we left Mich. My companion and myself are the only ones of like faith in this place. O how cheering it would be to see some messenger of God come to this place to proclaim the message. Gladly would we welcome him to our humble place of abode. We are poor but such as God has blessed us with that we will gladly share. It is our earnest prayer that some one may come that we may have the privilege of being buried with Christ in baptism and unite with God's remnant people. We want to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand the trials that await the people of God. We desire the prayers of the brethren and sisters.

Yours striving to overcome.

A. D. JONES.
