Balance on hand, $651.25
Voted, That the amount to be paid to the General Conference be left to the Auditing Committee.
The Committee on Resolutions reported the following, which were passed by the Conference:—
Whereas, The great need of our cause at the present time is consecrated laborers who shall go forth with zeal and devotion to labor in the great harvest field; therefore,
Resolved, That we should at once awake to the importance of saving to the cause the talent that is being developed among us, but which through carelessness or neglect is too often diverted to other channels.
Resolved, That, as the first step in this direction, a greater degree of consecration is called for on the part of parents and the older members in the cause, as we cannot otherwise expect the young to devote themselves as they should to the work.
Resolved, That we deem it essential to the prosperity of any church that its officers be faithful in the discharge of their duties, attending to the celebration of the ordinances, and keeping the financial and temporal affairs of the church in a healthy condition, by prompt attendance thereto.
Resolved, That we recommend that a committee of two be chosen in each church to act in connection with the President of the Conference in examining the church records and Systematic Benevolence books, to put them into proper shape, and give instruction to the clerks and treasurers how to keep their records correctly; and we further recommend that when persons in office are found to be incompetent they be removed, and others appointed in their place.
Resolved, That we hereby express our increasing confidence in the present truth, in the working of this cause, and its future prosperity and final triumph.
Resolved, That although we deeply regret the languishing condition of the cause in our Conference, we will not slacken from its financial support.
Resolved, That we take hold with new zeal in the promulgation of the truth, and pray fervently the Lord of the harvest to raise up more laborers to go forth, earnestly beseeching our fellow-men to be reconciled to God, and pointing them to the only refuge from impending wrath.
Resolved, That we, the S. D. Adventists of Ohio in Conference assembled, while we regret that circumstances deprived us of the labors of Bro. and sister White, would yet gratefully acknowledge the timely admonitions and efficient labors of Brn. Smith and Canright.
Resolved, That while we acknowledge and rejoice in the clear and consistent light of present truth, we are aware that the most beautiful theory, unless reduced to practice in life, can never save; and we will, therefore, by the grace of God, in filial love, try to become living epistles of the truth we profess, and to have its sanctifying influence in our hearts, and its resultant fruits in our lives.
Resolved, That we will consecrate our lives and our all to God anew, drink into his Spirit, and lay aside the works of the flesh, so that the blessed fruits of the Spirit shall be made more manifest in our lives, that we may thus rise with the message, exert a gathering influence for Christ, and be prepared for translation at last to our Father's mansions.
Resolved, That we will have brotherly love and affection to abound more and more, follow more earnestly after charity, knowing that without it, though crowned with all the other gifts of the Spirit, we shall still be only as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. By love we will fulfill the law, by love we will bear one another's burdens, by love forbear one another, by love bridle our tongues and keep under the whole body, by love dwell in God and he in us, knowing that he that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Resolved, That the Executive Committee at our annual Conference examine the books of the State secretary and State treasurer to see that they are correctly kept.
Resolved, That we hereby invite Eld. H. A. St. John to locate within the bounds of this Conference.
Resolved, That we will remember the foregoing resolutions throughout the year.
Voted, That the minutes of this meeting be published in the REVIEW.

Prayer.

Is prayer a secret duty only? or is it a duty to be performed, and a privilege to be enjoyed, in public also? Some entertain the idea that secret prayer is commanded, and public vocal prayer, prohibited, by Christ’s command: “When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
Does this show that the only allowable manner for prayer is to go alone, to a secret place? Luke speaks of a “river side where prayer was wont to be made;” Acts 16:13; if only secret prayer was allowable, or necessary, why were meetings for prayer held there? And why were “many gathered together praying” on a certain occasion recorded in chapter 12:12? But it is said that their manners and customs were not then as are those of our day; that there is no account of any one’s ever being heard praying; that this command of Christ’s does not prohibit assembling for prayer, but it does prohibit vocal prayer in assemblies; that the secret closet means the sincerity of the heart, and the praying must be done silently.
If vocal prayer in public is wrong and ought not to be practiced, why did Christ and Stephen set such an example as they did when they “cried with a loud voice” in prayer to God? And that, too, in the presence of scoffing multitudes. It is said, They were in the midst of a mob, and were therefore excusable. But where in the Bible are such exceptions provided for? Where is the proof that being in a mob is license for doing wrong? Let it be remembered that Christ is our pattern. He knew no sin, never did wrong in the least. And yet his last act was to cry “with a loud voice” in prayer to his Father. Is it not right for his followers to do the same?
If Stephen had understood that Christ had forbidden vocal prayer in public, and if he had always been accustomed to silent petitions, it would seem that in that mob, when he was considerate enough to remember Christ’s command: “Pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you,” he also would have remembered to utter the prayer in the manner he was accustomed to—silently. But not so. Following the example of Christ, he “cried with a loud voice,”
If the closet referred to is the sincerity of the heart, and the command is to pray not merely to be heard of men, or for an outward show, then I reply that a true Christian can fulfil the requirement by praying aloud in the congregation as well as by praying silently. The disciples had prayer-meetings; for they “went to prayer.” Acts 16:16. They continued “with one accord in prayer and supplication.” Chap. 1:14; 2:42. And who supposes that Paul prayed silently, when, after his touching farewell address to the elders of the church of Ephesus, whom he had summoned to meet him at Miletus, he “kneeled down and prayed with them all?” Chap. 20:36; 21:5. He says, “I will pray with the Spirit,” and “I will sing with the Spirit.” 1 Cor. 14:15. There is no question about his singing aloud. Why should there be about his praying?

Almost Discouraged.

By John Hackett

I AM always sorry to hear one who is trying to lead a Christian life, say, “I am almost discouraged.” The words seem to imply that the enemy has almost got the advantage over him; for it is his work to discourage as many as he can, and induce them to give up the service of God. He attacks the young especially by presenting to them the hardness of the way in contrast with the pleasures and allurements which the world offers.
Let us see if we have any just cause for becoming discouraged in this work. In the first place, we believe it is God’s purpose that we should serve him, and that it is Satan’s purpose that we should disobey God and dishonor him, thus bringing destruction upon ourselves. One of the attributes of God is justice, and we cannot believe that he would require of us more than we are able to perform. But, says the desponding one, we have a wily foe to contend with, besides our own evil natures. This is true; but Christ came into the world that he might deliver his followers from the power of Satan. If Satan is strong, God is stronger; and he has given us the precious promise that we shall not be tempted above what we are able to bear. We are also told that with every temptation a way of escape will be provided.
Help to successfully overcome the trials of life is one of the “good gifts” our Heavenly Father has promised us. And since he has manifested his love in such a wonderful manner as to give his Son to die for us, can we not believe that he will, as the apostle assures us, “with him freely give us all things?” Oh! the love and condescension of our Heavenly Father! While we were yet sinners, and merited only destruction, he sent his Son to die for us, that through him we might inherit all things.
And again let us ask, what shall we gain by yielding to discouragement? God has promised that those who overcome shall inherit eternal life. And we know that his promises are sure. But what does Satan offer those who serve him? A few short years of fleeting pleasures, and then what? O reader, stop and consider! The pleasures of sin are detrimental to health and carry a sting with them. And can you trust your paymaster? You may be permitted to enjoy several years of sinful pleasure, and you may have not even one; but whether few or many, will it pay?
We have no cause, then, for discouragement, since they that are for us are more than they that are against us; and sinful pleasures will not pay, because if we continue in them we shall be eternally lost. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” And we shall be “more than conquerors through Him that loved us.”
JOHN HACKETT.

Obituary Notices.

By R. F. Cottrell

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, at Ridgeway, Orleans Co., N. Y., Oct. 12, 1875, our dear sister in Christ, Pamelia Alvord, aged seventy-eight years. Early in life she embraced the Christian faith and gave her heart to God; and early in the proclamation of the advent doctrine in the first message (Rev. 14:6, 7), she listened to the preaching of Eld. Wm. Miller and others, and received the truth of the second advent at hand. About twelve years ago, hearing the third message, she embraced it, and has since been a faithful observer of the Sabbath of the Lord, and a persevering laborer in tract distribution. She rests from her labors. The funeral was held in the neighborhood where she had long lived, near Lockport, she being one of the first settlers in the place, and we laid her in the family burying ground on her old farm, by the side of her husband, many years deceased. The Congregational minister of Lockport took part in the services, making very good and appropriate remarks. Her old neighbors manifested much interest in the occasion; the day was fine, and the singing, provided by them, was solemn, pathetic, and deeply interesting. Her children and grandchildren deeply feel their loss. May they heed her counsel, and be prepared to meet her in glory. R. F. Cottrell.

Matters and Things.

By James White

One year ago, we donated one hundred dollars to the Missouri and Kansas Conference for the definite object of the support of poor preachers in that Conference, and urged others to follow our example. A very few brethren followed with various sums, amounting in all to only a few hundreds. Somebody at once made appeals in the Review for the poor brethren generally in that Conference, and turned the liberalities of our people from the ministers to the people.
The result has been that the ministers of the Missouri and Kansas Conferences were paid at their last Conference from four to six dollars a week for their labors, and some of that was taken from the bank, on which Bro. Ayers, of Kansas, is paying two per cent. a month. When these facts are well known to the very persons who took the liberty to pervert our plans and effort one year since, why do they not now take the same interest in the ministers this year, as they did in the people last year?
We now order one hundred and twenty-five dollars to be sent from the General Conference treasury to Bro. J. N. Ayers, Farlinville, Kan., to pay the hired money. We gave one hundred last year, and urge others, especially those who have been meddling with our money matters, to follow our example in this thing. Personally, we have done our duty. Why don’t others take hold of this matter?
Bro. Christian Bauer, Palermo, Doniphan Co., Kan., was one of the $100 men to raise the sum of $2300 to relieve Eld. T. J. Butler of Missouri, now of Ohio. Bro. Bauer has had his crops cut off, and is in distressing want of his money. We order $100 from the General Conference treasury for this brother. It is high time that the brethren who loaned without interest one hundred dollars each to help in this matter had their money. Some of them are needy. Others want this money to help the cause. This matter was brought about by Eld. Geo. I. Butler, who should look after it, and see that in some way it is closed up, and the brethren have their money.
Again, Bro. L. R. Long writes of the poverty of some of their preachers, and shows that he and others need help. His peculiar wants and discouragements are such that we order fifty dollars sent to him from the General Conference treasury. One thousand dollars should be raised at once to help poor preachers in the two Conferences of Kansas and Missouri. Eld. Canright was at their Conference in September, and should report the case. We are crowded with work, cares, and perplexities—hands, head, and heart, and hope that too much will not be left to us. J. W.

Canvassers Wanted.

By Editor

OUR list of 1000 agents is not yet filled out, and there is still an opportunity for a large number of reliable, energetic persons to engage in business which will be benevolent and useful to others while lucrative to themselves. The present is the most favorable season of the year in which to engage in the canvassing business. Never before has popular sentiment been so strongly in favor of reformation. The principles of health reform are pervading and leavening the social masses, opening a wide door for all who are willing to labor earnestly and perseveringly for the advancement of truth.
We are anxious to improve this favorable opportunity by mustering into the field immediately an

ARMY OF MISSIONARY AGENTS

whom we are willing to pay liberally for their work, as will be seen by the terms offered, which are as follows:—
SIXTY PER CENT. discount on the Family Health Almanac, Health and Diseases of Woman, Tobacco-Using, and The Hygienic System.
FIFTY PER CENT. discount on the Health Reformer and “Healthful Cookery,” the new cook book.

AGENTS’ OUTFITS,

Consisting of specimen copies of each of our tracts and pamphlets, Health Almanac, several Health Reformers, Circulars, subscription blanks, and a package of envelopes addressed to us, will be sent to any person who wishes to act as agent, post-paid, for $1.50.
Cash must accompany all orders, unless they are from well-known responsible parties.
Send for outfits immediately. There is no chance for loss, for the books alone will sell for the amount paid.
Address, HEALTH REFORMER, Battle Creek, Mich.

Still Wanted.

By S. B. Whitney

The names and P. O. of the clerks of churches in N. Y. & Pa. Conference are still wanted. Up to the time of my leaving home, Oct. 21, I had received responses from three. Perhaps some did not notice the call, so I make it again. I have sent blanks to all whose addresses I am sure of, but I want to furnish all with them. A postal card, and a few minutes spent in writing it and depositing it in the post-office, is all that is needed to furnish me with the desired information. S. B. Whitney, Sec.

An Old Man.

The Chicago Evening Journal for October the 13th inst. says, “Mr. Owen McEntee, of Lyndon, Washtenaw Co., Mich., is now 106 years old, and yet he is as sprightly as a boy of 60 years.”
