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

This department of the paper is designed for the brethren and sisters to freely and fully communicate with each other respecting their hopes and determinations, conflicts and victories, attainments and desires, in the heavenly journey. Then they, says the prophet, that feared the Lord spake often one to another. We believe emphatically that we are living in that time. Therefore seek first a living experience and then record it, carefully and prayerfully, for the comfort and encouragement of the other members of the household of faith. Let this department be well filled with lively testimonies of the goodness of God, and the value of his truth.

From Bro. Sutton.

Bro. WHITE: Thinking that the readers of the Review would like to know how we are getting along in Southern Iowa, I would say that since Bro. Sanborn visited the churches, the cause is moving onward and upward. It was thought by some that our quarterly meeting at Knoxville was the most profitable meeting that was ever held at that place. We saw hearts united in the bonds of Christian love that had not been for more than one year. Bless the Lord for a truth that will unite his people. Others that had taken no part in our meetings for a long time, rose up and renewed their covenant, pledging themselves to go with God's people to mount Zion.

I think I can say with David, It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now have I kept thy word. I want to go with the body. I do not want to go too fast, neither do I want to go too slow.
