LETTERS.

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

From Bro. Davis.

BRO. WHITE:—I learn from Bro. Loughborough, that the tent will be pitched at Ionia next, and Bro. King was here yesterday, and we had some talk about some things connected with the actions and appearance of some Sabbath keepers. I find there is much prejudice existing in this town with regard to the appearance of some Sabbath-keepers. Now it is thought best by myself, and some others, for you, if you think best, to write a note in the Review that will have the effect to have all that visit Ionia to hear preaching, come looking and acting so as to honor the cause. Every thing should be done to counteract the existing opinion of many with regard to Sabbath-keepers. We should feel mortified enough to have brethren and sisters come looking slack and slovenly. We hope your note may have proper effect on such, for we shall be watched on every side, while the tent is here, and if they can find anything to talk about that should not be, they will make a big handle of it, and perhaps thereby keep honest souls from embracing the "truth." Also insert the following at the same time.

Note to brethren and sisters in and about Ionia. All that intend to visit this place, to attend meetings, while the tent is here, will confer kindness upon us by coming as well prepared with their own accommodations as possible, as there are but myself and one other Sabbath keeper that can accommodate friends, and my house room is limited. I write this that there be no confusion.

E. M. DAVIS.

Ionia, July 1st, 1862.

N. B. Horses can be accommodated with hay and stable room, at about one shilling to one and six pence per 24 hours.

NOTE.—We are so well pleased with the above, that all we wish to say is—Amen.—ED.
