I ONCE heard a conversation between a churchmember and an infidel. After arguments were urged at considerable length on both sides, the infidel observed to his friend that they might as well drop the subject of conversation; “for,” said he, “I do not believe a word that you say;” and, more than this, I am satisfied that you do not really believe it yourself; for, to my certain knowledge, you have not given, for the last twenty years, as much for the spread of Christianity—such as the building of churches, foreign and domestic missions, &c.,—as your last Durham cow cost.” “Why, sir, if I believed one-half of what you say you believe, I would make the church my rule for giving, and my farm the exception!”1 paragraphs

RESPECT THE AGED.—Many an old person has the pain—not bodily, but sharper still—of feeling himself in the way. Some one wants his place. His very chair in the chimney corner is grudged him. He is a burden to son or daughter. The very arm that props him is taken away from some productive labor. As he sits at the table, his own guests are too idle or too unkind to make him a sharer in their mirth. They grudge the trouble of that raised voice which alone could make him one of them; and when he speaks it is only to be put aside as ignorant or despised, as old-fashioned and obsolete. Oh, little do younger persons know their power of giving pain or pleasure! It is a pain for any man, still in the world, to be made to feel that he is no longer of it, to be driven in upon his own little world of conscious isolation and buried enjoyment. But this is his condition! and if any fretfulness or querulousness of temper has aggravated it—if others love him not because he is not amiable—shall we pity that condition the less—shall we upbraid it with that fault which is itself the worst part of it?1 paragraphs

SISTER M. A. METZAR writes from McKean Co., Pa.: Although I am a stranger to you all, yet I feel that it is my duty to tell you how much God has done for me. I know that we each have a cross to bear and a soul to save; and if we sit idly and fold our hands while our more worthy friends are striving, I fear we shall come far short of the salvation we so much desire.Sister M. A. Metzar4 paragraphs
there is so much prejudice existing here, that all we can hear are the scoffs and fears of the worldling. But my prayer is to God to give us strength to overcome and bear our persecutions, as our dear Redeemer bore them, who was persecuted for us.2 paragraphs
SISTER C. RICH writes from Folsomdale, N. Y.: It is the holy Sabbath. I have been reading Bro. Loughborough's sermon in the Review, and found a response in my heart to everything there written. The many things we should not forget called out my heart in thankfulness to God; for, isolated as I am from dear brethren and sisters, I have all these things to remember and meditate upon, and be thankful for. I could but go on my knees before God in thankfulness while reading the sermon. I am thankful that we can have a sermon every Sabbath to read; and when I think of those who write and labor and sacrifice for the cause of God, I feel almost discouraged, for what can I do? I am getting old, somewhat infirm, and have but little means wherewith to promote the cause I love. But the Lord knoweth my heart, and if he see best for me to have more of this world's goods, he could easily give them. I fear I should be an unfaithful steward. I know the best and most efficient way to promote the cause is to walk in the truth and live out its holy precepts. I can say that of late I feel new desires and new resolutions to watch and pray more, and strive to get nearer to God, that I may yet be an overcomer indeed, and with the remnant gain Mount Zion. May our Heavenly Father raise up his servants that are now feeble in health, call new laborers into the field, and send out his light and his truth through the length and breadth of our land, shall be my earnest prayer.1 paragraphs
Bro. J. W. Wolfe writes from Ohio: I love the instructions, admonitions, and cheering testimonies that come to us weekly through the Review; and I would say to those that have taken the responsibility of writing for the various departments of the papers, to go on, and enjoy the blessing of God. And I believe there are many more, if they would carry out their convictions of duty in this respect, who might make themselves useful in writing for the edification of the brethren, and for the advancement of the cause of God.J.

E. ENGLES.—Your inquiries respecting Satan, and his fall, are discussed in the work published at this Office entitled, “The Ministration of Angels, and the Origin, History and Destiny of Satan,” more fully than we could investigate them in Bible Class. The maxim that “ignorance of the law excuses no man,” is based on the fact that a knowledge of the law is supposed to be within every man’s reach, and he is accountable for not availing himself of the privilege of becoming acquainted therewith. In case of the Sabbath, a misunderstanding of the law on this point has been suffered to exist while the saints, times and laws have been in the hands of the little horn, and the church has been in the wilderness state. During this period of darkness, the honest-hearted lived up to the best light they had, and will be accepted. But as the church comes up out of the wilderness, new light is given, and a reform from the errors of the dark ages is demanded.Editor1 paragraphs
