Notice.

I would say to the churches belonging to the Vermont State Conference, that Art. iii, Sec. 4, of the Constitution reads as follows: “The churches will be expected to make a report to the Secretary, at the end of each quarter, of the amount they have sent to the Treasurer, or paid to preachers, during each quarter.” The churches in Richford, Irasburgh, Sutton, Wolcott, Stowe, and Johnson, being delinquents, are hereby reminded that the third quarter ended March 1, 1868. Hope to hear from these churches soon.

W. J. Cross, Vt. Conf. Sec. West Enosburgh, Vt., April 10, 1868.

P. S. The address of the Vermont State Conf. Treasurer is, F. T. Wales, West Enosburgh, Vt.

REMEMBER THE CAUSE.

By John Norton Loughborough

“And those who cannot come, we ask to remember the cause in their prayers.”

As I read these words in the call to the Conference, in Review No. 17, the following thoughts passed through my mind. How many remember the cause while an effort is being made to advance the truth in their immediate vicinity, but, when such effort ceases, their prayers in that direction, are, in a great measure, at an end. They forget that the cause is one, and that all the while, in some place, or places, souls are being raised up by reading, or the living preachers, to decide on the truth. Silently, angels of God are trying to impress these truths upon hearts. If you do not see the work where you may be living, nevertheless, it is going on. Are your prayers ascending to Heaven that this work may go on? Are we all praying as ardently to God as we should, that God may send his angels forth to impress the truth on the hearts of those who read and hear, who are getting within reach of mercy?

But to the call in the Review; “Remember the cause.” Those words are full of meaning. In a few days the servants of God are to meet to consult on the best ways and means to advance that truth which is to prepare a people for the Judgment. What a solemn work, to present truths to men that will fit them to stand, or, they disobeying, seal their doom, and leave them subjects of destruction in the seven last plagues. How solemn, how sacred such truths! What fearful responsibilities are connected with the work! The work is of that character that poor mortals, unaided by heavenly wisdom, are inadequate to the task. The wisdom from on high is needed. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.”

May ministers, delegates, and others who assemble, come in the name of the Lord, and all others realize that this convocation is to do, not secular business, but business connected especially with preparing for the Judgment.

May, indeed, all our prayers ascend to Heaven, fervently, that God's signal blessing may attend the councils of his people.

MONTHLY MEETING IN TOMPKINS.

By A. S. Hutchins

THIS meeting was held in the house of Bro. Weed, on the 4th inst. By request I attended it, accompanied by Bro. S. W. Rhodes. It was a season of encouragement to us, and we think it was to all present; though quite a number were hindered from meeting with us, in consequence of the snow-storm, and the severity of the weather.

On first-day, we spent some hours at the house of Bro. Pomroy, a friend, who is interested in the examination of the truth, and at the house of Bro. E. P. Giles, listening to, and answering the questions of different friends, on the subjects of the Sabbath and Spiritual Gifts. Bro. R. spoke principally on the latter subject. Here he seemed to be perfectly at home, and spoke with freedom and feeling, and in love and tenderness. The Holy Spirit was present to assist and to approve of this effort to help the inquiring mind. And I am sure it was not labor spent in vain.

The friends here have been seeking to draw nigh unto the Lord, by fasting, prayer, and holding extra meetings since I was with them last February. The result is good. Parents have been strengthened and refreshed, and some of their children seem fully resolved, by assisting grace, to go with them to Mount Zion. For several reasons, baptism was deferred till the next Monthly Meeting.

I shall remember with lively satisfaction my interview with this dear people. May they all be overcomers, and reach the haven of endless rest.

Acknowledgment.

By A. S. Hutchins

BRO. SMITH: I wish to say through the Review, that, within a few months, I have received from brethren, whose sympathy and kindness I hope I appreciate, the following amount, a portion of which was handed me in consideration of my feeble efforts in laboring among them, and to meet traveling expenses.

May the blessing of Heaven rest upon these dear friends, and may they find a full reward in the kingdom of God.

Church in Hillsdale, $10.00. J. P. Kellogg, Wm. Carpenter, Bro. Sanborn, each $5.00. A. J. Richmond, $2.00. E. Walworth, A. Burwell, H. H. Bramhall, each $1.00. Brethren and sisters at Tompkins and vicinity, $4.00. Asa Loveland, Vt., $5.00.

To the Churches in Ohio.

By Ohio State Com.

BRO. VAN HORN has been called to Battle Creek on business preparatory to the Conference, and there is not money enough now in the Ohio State Treasury to pay him for services during the winter. We hope the churches will be prompt to forward to the Treasurer the sums now on hand. We shall do all that we possibly can to advance the cause in Ohio during the coming year, and trust we shall have the hearty co-operation of all the friends of the cause in the State.

There are some scattered ones able to assist in this matter—men of means—who have done nothing for some time past. Now is a good time to come up to the work. Their gold and silver, lands and cattle, will not save them in “the day of the Lord’s anger.” May they feel the importance of making a “covenant with the Lord by sacrifice,” while it may be accepted at their hands. Brethren, remember what brought the curse upon Meroz, and “be zealous and repent.”
