Response from New England.
Bro. White: Your remarks in Review No. 12, relative to the necessity of church order in the East, meet our hearty approval. That more should be done in New England to promote order, unanimity of feeling, and brotherly love, no one acquainted with the state of things, or the benefits of organization, can for one moment doubt. To your proposition that some of the preachers in the West, accompanied by yourself and sister White, should labor in the East the ensuing season, we also most earnestly respond, Amen. And this we confidently believe is the spontaneous language of the church throughout the length and breadth of New England. For our own experience, as well as the instruction through the gifts of the Spirit, teaches us that the glad time has come for a great gathering of precious souls around the standard of Bible truth. Yours striving for the unity of faith and action in the Christian warfare.
