A Word from Dansville, N. Y.
By Adelia P. Van Horn
By request of Bro. and sister White we left Battle Creek, Nov. 7th, for this place, which we reached the day following, accompanied by Edson and Willie their two sons. Having been connected with, and interested in the welfare of this dear family for about four years past in pleasant relations, it has seemed good to most cheerfully comply with their request and come to their assistance in this their time of affliction. Our meeting was of the most happy character, considering the circumstances; yet we felt sad to witness such indications of weakness in Bro. White, in step and tone of voice, in contrast with the many pleasant seasons of welcoming them back to their own home after labors in the wide harvest field. We are rejoiced to find sister White so well, considering her care and anxiety. Bro. White is much reduced in flesh, but seems to be hopeful of a sure recovery. We find these servants of the Lord still trusting in the strength of the Arm on which they so long have leaned, confiding and hopeful in God who doeth all things well. The rest and treatment which Bro. Loughborough is receiving is doing a work for him which he has so much needed. The Lord has not forsaken his trusting ones. He hears the prayers of his commandment keeping people. Pray on, brethren and sisters. Let us be possessors of vital piety as we pass along on our pilgrimage journey to the kingdom of God, where none of the ills which human nature is heir to can ever enter. Adelia P. Van Horn.
