THE ATONING BLOOD OF CHRIST
Earlier text: NO TRUST

The Truth Is Prevailing

Bro. S. E. Edwards writes from Shunk, Henry Co., Ohio. Nov. 28th. 1858: "I desire to say to the brethren that my pathway is growing brighter and brighter. Our little band here are still in possession of the christian's hope, and willing to take up their cross and follow Christ through tribulation. I feel thankful that the present truth has not been confined to large cities and towns, but has found me here in the woods. I have been to the eastern part of this State, and found dear friends that were willing to receive the truth. The Methodists opened their meeting houses for the word of God to be preached in. I talked the truth to the people in Washington Co., and many acknowledged the Sabbath and wanted to hear more. I am very weak in the knowledge of the Bible, but by the help of God's Spirit to guide me into all truth, I was enabled to give the word of God which no man could gainsay. When I saw so many precious souls willing to receive the truth, I felt inspired with zeal and courage to do what I could. I commenced meetings on Sixth-day evening, and closed the evening of the next Third-day. I feel well assured that the truth will prosper with them. I think that Bro. Cornell will go there this winter. May God bless his labors in Ohio. Thank God, the truth is prevailing."
Sister E. Hutchins writes: "I love the truths the Review advocates. This world has no charms for me. It is full of sickness, sorrow, sin and woe; but bless the dear Saviour, there is a world soon to be revealed that will be full of joy, peace and love. I sigh for that bright world to come. O let us go forward. Behind us is a waste, howling wilderness, before us is tribulation; but the Saviour has promised to be with us even to the end of the world. Blessed promise! if he is for us, who can be against us?"

Extracts from Letters.

Bro. E. S. Faxon writes from Mattison, Mich., Dec. 3d, 1858: "I do rejoice in the present truth, and a foundation for faith to rest upon, even the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus. Now I trust no more to be led away by cunningly devised fables. I think I can say with the apostle Paul, I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. Let me have David's resolve, Depart from me, ye evil doers; for I will keep the commandments of my God; also his dependence, Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Ps. cxix, 115, 116.
"After a christian profession of forty years, in which I had trials, (one especially in regard to singing, as I was a leader for a number of years in that department, and felt that to keep pace with fashionable singing, the worship with the Spirit and the understanding was lost, and I found this a sore trial.) I feel that I can say,
"" Now rest, my long divided heart, Fixed on this blissful center, rest; Nor ever from thy Lord depart, With him of every good possessed!" "

APPOINTMENTS.

By F. Wheeler

PROVIDENCE permitting I intend to meet with the church in Jefferson Co., N. Y., at their next monthly meeting, Jan. 7th, and remain with them over Sabbath and First-day. The brethren can arrange for meetings as they think best.
Also by request a general meeting of the church is appointed at Bro. Ira Abbey's, North Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y., Sabbath, Jan. 15th, 1859, to continue over First-day. It is expected the ordinances will be administered at this meeting. Brethren in different localities in the vicinity are invited to meet with us. F. WHEELER.

A Forlorn Hope.

We find the following desperate source of consolation going the rounds of our exchanges:
The Gospel Triumphiing. It is true that we often take desponding views of christianity. It is aggressive and it is progressing. Here is an abstract statement, showing the advance the church has made. There were of christian communicants in the First century . . . 500,000. Fifth century . . . 15,000,000. Tenth century . . . 50,000,000. Fifteenth century . . . 100,000,000. Eighteenth century . . . 200,000,000. True, there was one century during the madness of the crusades, and the locking up of the Bible, when there was a decrease. But to take the past, and you have an advance of 50,000,000 each century, of 140 every day. Is there not something really inspiring in such a view? Let it go on a little longer, and we may well say, 'From the tops of the rocks I see them, and from the hills I behold them; who can count the dust of Jacob and number the fourth part of Israel?'
If the human race was all the while decreasing, and the nominal converts to christianity still increasing, there might be some ground to hope that the world would eventually become christian. Or if crime and depravity, taking the world as a whole, were on the decrease, instead of growing more and more prevalent, there might then be some ground upon which to rest a hope. Or if christianity itself was not continually degenerating, so that even now the standard is trailed in the dust, there would be more reason to hope. But when the human race is increasing faster than the converts to christianity; when vice is counting an increase of its votaries by hundreds day by day; and when, in such enlightened lands as our own, which are confessedly all the hope the world has, the degree of depravity is so great, that one evangelical denomination, has to appoint a day of fasting on account of the sins of another, (according to the quotation in last week's REVIEW,)—in view of all these things, we say, where is there room for hope? There is none. Men may shut their eyes to all but one side of the subject if they wish, and delude themselves into the belief that all the tares are becoming wheat; but the Lord has given his immutable word that wheat and tares shall grow together until the harvest.

Note from Bro. Cornell.

By M. E. Cornell

Bro. Smith: I have no evil report to bring from this section. The church at Republic are getting established, several have thrown away their tobacco, and seem to desire to walk in the light. The Universalist house is now closed against us, and the friends are talking about making preparations to build a house in the spring. I go next to Townsend, and then I trust my work in the churches is about finished, for the winter at least. New places must be opened, and the glad news spread abroad.
I learn that Spiritualism is breaking out anew in this State. At Sandusky city, I am told the clergy have all they can do to keep their members. The spirits speak through trumpets, and give such proofs of their presence, that great excitement prevails. You will doubtless see reports of it through the Spiritual press.
"As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth." Men are now boldly advertising to do this here in Ohio. Large, flaming handbills are posted, from which I copy the following: "A brilliant display of Egyptian magic," "Mr. Hinchey, during the entertainment will introduce two of the great magical feats performed by Jannes, the distinguished opponent of Moses before Pharaoh," "Wonderful performance," "Most splendid and sublime feats ever performed in the world." These words and sentences were displayed in large, colored letters, and presented a very striking appearance, yet those who witnessed the performance, said that it was really wonderful. But the people are so accustomed to wonders, that these things are but little noticed; they know not that these are signs and fulfillments of prophecy in the last days. But few realize the solemnity of this time. Satan's work is advancing, and O, may the message soon go in power, and the remnant be gathered. Amen.
M. E. Cornell.
