Sister R. Bisbee, writes from Newport, Wis. : I am very lonely, as there are none of like precious faith in this place. The Review is all the preacher I have, and it is a welcome visitor, as it comes weekly laden with rich stores of truth, and many good letters from the dear saints which often cheer my lonely hours. I feel to say that God is good and I am truly thankful for his giving me a heart to receive the present truth, and I pray that he may give me grace to overcome all of my besetments, that I may be found when Christ comes with that happy company, who shall have clean hands and a clean heart and shall be able to enter through the gates into the city.
Sister W. Bowles, writes from Monroe, Wis. : It cheers my heart to hear through the Review, that the work of the Lord is still going on. It has been two years this fall, since I commenced keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and the way grows brighter and brighter. I mean by the assisting grace of God to persevere until I stand upon Mount Zion with God's people. I am an orphan girl, left alone in the world, yet the Lord is with me; and I believe that he will soon appear to reward his people, to take home his faithful ones.
Bro. E. Engles writes from Freeport, Ills. : I believe the third angel's message. The Review is a welcome visitor to my lonely home and is all the preaching I have. I know not of another person in this city of like faith. I hope that Providence will put it into the heart of some of the messengers to come to this city soon, to preach the truth. There are some here, I know, in this city who are sick of popular Christianity. If some can be sent here, we can get the court-house in which to hold meetings; and my house is always open for any one of the preachers. I hope to see soon in the Review an appointment for this place.

Annual Meeting of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association.
THE third annual meeting of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association will be held in Battle Creek, Mich., on Friday the Second day of October, 1863, commencing at 9 o'clock A. M., for the election of officers and the transaction of all other business pertaining to the interests of the Association.
At this meeting it is proposed to make certain changes in the By-laws, as follows: In Art. ix, Sec. 2, in the first line after "All voting" strike out—"except for an adjournment" and insert in its place—"for the election of officers." Add to the section after the representation of our printed ballot, "All other voting to be done as the President may direct."
In Art. ii. Sec. 1. after the words, "shall be elected" in the fifth line, strike out all the remaining portion of the sentence closing with the word, "year" and substitute in the lieu thereof "every year at such time and place as may be determined by the last meeting of the Association or announced in the call for the meeting." In the last line of the same section after the word, "until" insert "three weeks after."
In Art. ii. Sec. 13. Strike out all the remaining portion of the section after "The Association shall elect its editors," and substitute in lieu thereof, "at each yearly meeting, whose term of office shall continue until three weeks after their successors are elected."
In Art. v. Sec. 2. after the words, "this Association," in the second line, strike out "held in one of the autumnal months," and at the close of the fourth line strike out "and this" and insert in lieu thereof "or announced in the call for said meeting, which."
To Article xi add the following: "Sec. 2. No money paid to the Association for shares or donations, nor interest or profits arising therefrom, shall be subject to withdrawal, but shall be, and forever remain, a part of its funds, to be used in accordance with sec. 1, of this Article."

P. S. We would add that this is to be merely a meeting of the Association for the transaction of business. There will be no conference held in connection with it, and no especial religious exercises. Brn. White and Loughborough of the trustees, are now East, and are not expected to be present at this meeting; but the above-mentioned changes are proposed with their suggestion and concurrence. The reason for these changes will be apparent to all. It is that we may accomplish the voting on all business matters with more convenience and dispatch, and also that the meeting of the Association may not be confined to any particular season of the year, but may be held at any time in connection with other gatherings, as, for instance, our General or State Conferences. TRUSTEES.
Note from the Wis. Tent.
By Wm. S. Ingraham
Bro. White; Our meeting in this place is one of interest. Our tent has been here one week and the interest has been increasing from the beginning, I am alone, and have preached every evening and three times last Sunday, with the exception of two discourses which were given last Monday, and Wednesday evenings by Bro. Goodenough. Bro. Steward is at home on business but I expect him back to day. Let all the saints pray for our success.

Iowa Conference.
THE Iowa Conference will convene for the transaction of business on first-day morning Sept. 20th, at 8 o'clock A. M. at Pilot Grove, formerly known as the Dayton and Richmond church, Washington Co. We hope to see a delegation from every church in the State. Delegates will report the condition of the churches, as to the amount of S. B. funds for the year, number of membership, &c.
Let those who cannot send a delegate send letters. Preaching to begin on Friday, the 18th, at 7 P. M. Bro. Sanborn will be with us. Let all who attend this Conference come full of faith and the Holy Ghost. Let all pray that this may be a great and happy meeting. Those coming from the East will inquire for J. M. Ferguson, or O. Chipman, Richmond. From the North and West, for H. Nicola, Pilot Grove.

Lessons on Daniel’s Prophecy
By Editor
Lessons for Bible Students, are resumed in this number, on the subject, according to previous notice, of the Prophecy of Daniel. The questions are based on the new edition of the pamphlet on Daniel's prophecy. And although this edition contains the same matter as the old, without essential alteration, the size of the page, and the paging differ altogether from the former. Therefore brethren designing to make use of the lessons, will find it vastly more convenient to use the new edition.
