Moving West.

By J. H. Rogers

Bro. White: I wish to say to the brethren and sisters who may be contemplating moving West to seek homes where land can be bought cheap, that Daviess Co., Missouri is as good as the West affords. You see by our Governor's proclamation, that slavery no longer exists in our State, which has been such a drawback to enterprise, and hindrance to emigration from the East to this State.

There is a little band of Sabbath-keepers here, who would gladly welcome into our midst those of "like precious faith." We need your society, and influence. And to the preaching Brn. who have not a field of labor, let me say, "Come over and help us." It does seem to me that now is the time to make proclamation of the third angel's message in this part of the country. J. H. Rogers.

Victoria, Daviess Co., Missouri.
