Child's Library, No. 1.
**JUST PRINTED.—One of the sweetest little tracts for children, ever in print, is now ready for the lambs of the flock. It contains three poems, the titles of which are, Little Will, The Alpine Cross, and Jesus' Seat. Mrs. White, in her travels the past three months, has read these sweet little poems to children and to adults, many times, and the listeners have ever been much interested. We decided to have 4000 copies printed. Price, to those who wish them to give to the children, $1.00, per 100, post paid. Smaller orders, 2 cents a copy, post paid. Address J. M. Aldrich, Battle Creek, Mich.

Appointments.
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
PROVIDENCE permitting we will be at the Monthly Meeting to be held at Lancaster, N. Y., the second Sabbath in June, on our way to California.
J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH,
D. T. BOURDEAU.
No preventing providence, the dedication meeting of the Seventh-day Adventist meeting-house, at Cassville, Grant Co., Wis., will commence at 9 o'clock, June 27; the dedication sermon will be preached first-day morning at half past ten. A general invitation is extended to all interested. Those coming by steamboat will stop at Cassville where teams will meet them Friday, to carry them five miles to the meeting. Bro. R. F. Andrews is also expected.
ISAAC SANBORN
NEXT Monthly Meeting for R. I., will be held with the Exeter church. Brethren coming by R. R. will stop at Slocum's Corners, on the Prov. and Ston. R. R., and inquire for Clark L. Sweet. It is hoped Bro. S. N. Haskell will be there.
It is hoped our brethren will come prepared to do each other good, and to persuade the unconverted to go with us. Our time is short; let us work while the day of probation lasts.
P. C. REDMAN.
Minnesota State Conference.
THE annual meeting of this Conference will be held at Mantorville, Dodge Co., Minn., June 26-28. Elder J. N. Andrews designs to be present.

Mission to California.
By James White
AFTER much prayer, and counseling with fellow-laborers, Elders Loughborough and Bourdeau decide to leave in a short time on a mission to California.
They now design to take with them a new tent, in which they can hold meetings in that climate eight or nine months in the year. The expenses of such a tent, its transportation, and other extra expenses of this mission will be not far from $1000. I suggest that this sum be raised by donations from the friends of the cause everywhere.
Brethren, the Lord does not rain down upon us temporal blessings for us to collect in reservoirs and pools to remain stagnant. A proper and healthful circulation of these blessings will save souls, and glorify God. Who will take stock in the California Mission?
JAMES WHITE.
The Health Institute.
By James White
The proposed change of stock in this Institution, so that it may not be a matter of profit, but of liberality, is being received with favor by all the stockholders, as far as I have had opportunity of learning their minds, and some feel a great relief in view of this change. This is more than was at first expected. The hand of the Lord is evidently in this matter.
With the brightening prospect before the Institute, and with the full assurance that stock in it will pay well in Heaven, now is the time for all the friends of truth and reform to come up nobly to the work. Who will take stock on the new plan? Send in your answers at once in the form of pledges. Bro. Rummery took to the amount of $500 last week. I take $500 this week. Who will follow with greater or less sums? Send in your pledges, brethren, and let us see the good work go forward. Stock in the Institute will be held as in the Publishing Association. It is not to be consumed to meet the expenses of treating patients, but to be laid out in suitable accommodations and facilities for treating the sick. JAMES WHITE.
GREENVILLE
By James White
The village of Greenville is situated in the southern part of Montcalm Co., Mich., twenty miles from Ionia, the nearest station on the Detroit and Milwaukee railroad.
It is rapidly growing, and has already nearly 1000 inhabitants. It is surrounded by as good farming country as can be found in Michigan, and is also the head-quarters of the pine lumbering interests in that part of the State. Fruit, especially the apple, and the uncultivated raspberry, whortleberry, blackberry, and the cranberry, are in abundance.
Business of all kinds, especially farming, lumbering, and building, are lively, and mechanics of nearly all sorts can do better in that locality than in older portions of the State. And I would suggest to those who may regard it as a duty to move to Michigan, that Greenville is a better place than Battle Creek.
1. Because the church at Battle Creek is already too large, and does not need the help and strength of more members. At Greenville the church is small and weak, and needs the help of efficient additions to its numbers.
2. Because there is but little for so many to do in the Master's vineyard at Battle Creek, and much for the few to do in, and near, Greenville. Why should many crowd in to Battle Creek and die for want of spiritual exercise, and do no one any real good, when there is a chance to accomplish good elsewhere, and in doing this good to others, they may receive spiritual strength? Those who wish to come to Greenville may correspond with A. W. Maynard, J. Fargo, and E. Merrill. JAMES WHITE.
Testimony to the Church, No. 15
By James White
Testimony to the Church, No. 15, is now ready. It contains matter of the deepest interest to the people of God everywhere. Orders will be filled promptly. Let them come in, and let this little book of testimonies from the Lord to his people, go out with its words of reproof, instruction, and comfort.
I shall send a sufficient quantity by express to Elder J. N. Andrews, Palmyra, Wis., to supply the brethren who shall attend the Western Conference. Price, post paid, 15 cents. JAMES WHITE.
Come to my bosom, thou heavenly dove,
Bear on thy wings some sweet message of love;
Help of the helpless, and Author of light,
Dawn on my darkness, and chase away night.
Come in thy pity, thou wonderful guest,
Bring me a glimpse of that glorious rest.
Long have I pined for thee, heavenly dove,
Come to my bosom, sweet spirit of love.
Guide of the straying, and hope of the lost,
Brighten the wave for the poor “tempest toss’d.
Yet if thou wilt be my bountiful guest,
All is so meager and poor in my breast,
Thou must bring all to the banquet, my Lord,
Oh! come, let compassion and love spread the board
Yes, I am waiting, thou heavenly dove,
Come to my bosom, sweet spirit of love.
VESTA N. CUDWORTH.
Springfield, Mass.
Notes and Queries.
To JULIA E. GREEN: Please forward to us one or more of the “exchange lists” you speak of, and we shall be able to answer your question.
QUESTION. Did not the Man of Sin receive his death blow in 1798, and must there not, therefore, arise another (Spiritualism), to be destroyed at Christ’s coming? H. B.
ANSWER. If the Man of Sin received a death blow in 1798, that fact is shown in prophecy in Rev. xiii, 3, where this antichrist power is represented by “the beast.” But the same scripture informs us that the “deadly wound was healed;” also that the two-horned beast works miracles in the sight of “the beast which had the wound by the sword and did live.” This “deadly wound,” which you term a “death blow,” did not destroy the Man of Sin; it was healed so that he still did live, and will, to the coming of the Lord. J. H. W.
Note to the Brethren in Iowa.
By GEO. I. BUTLER.
I trust the churches in this State will remember the importance of re-signing the S. B. book before the meeting of the State Conference, June 12, as it will be very important to know the amount of funds available for the coming year, in time for the delegates to be able to report the same. In order that there may be unanimity in the matter, I will suggest Sunday, June 7, as a day upon which to meet for this purpose; though, of course, if any church has meetings appointed for any other day it will be just as well.
There may be some disappointment that Bro. and Sr. White are not to be in the State this spring. They are so exceedingly worn with cares and labors that it was thought not to be prudent for them to come before fall. We hope they may be present at our Convocation meetings this fall. GEO. I. BUTLER.
BUSINESS AND PERSONAL.
A limited space will be given under this head for Business Notices from the brethren, at 20 cents per line for each insertion. Parties must give good reference as to their standing and responsibility.
WE would say through the REVIEW, to the friends of the Hygienic principles, that after the first part of June, 1868, the best of western Graham Flour may be obtained at Wm. W. Putnam’s, S. Norridgewock, Me., and at Asa Atwood’s, Skowhegan, Me. We shall start the enterprise on the principle of supplying our friends with Graham Flour at wholesale cost.
WM. W. PUTNAM.
Will Eld. D. M. Canright give the Elder of Norridgewock Church his Post Office address?
