Labors in New York.

By John Nevins Andrews

BRO. WHITE: Since our State conference I have labored in central New York. I trust that good has been accomplished. It seems to me that the prospect is cheering and that the people of God are growing in grace and in the love of the cause of truth.

I design now to labor for several weeks in western N. Y. Letters to me may be directed to Rochester, care of J. B. Lamson. So soon as my duty this way is accomplished, I design to visit Mannsville, and Adams Center. I hope to have the hearty cooperation of all the friends of the cause of present truth. When we all come up to the help of the Lord and take such a position before him that he will accept us, we may confidently expect that God will add to our numbers many that are now living in violation of his holy law. Let each one see to it that he or she is not pursuing such a course that the first duty of those who labor in word and doctrine, will be to put their wrong away before any thing can be done for those who are not in the truth. Great is the responsibility of those who live only to be stumbling blocks, hindrances and dead weights to the cause of God. The time must come when such will be utterly separated from the people of God. May they realize this while there is yet opportunity by hearty repentance to put away their sin. J. N. ANDREWS.
