Our Letter File
By J. M. A.
OUR LETTER FILE brings to view the noticeable fact, that during the last month—the short month of February—we received a greater number of letters than have been received during any previous month since the publication of the Review.
This augurs well for the cause. It shows an increasing interest to know more of the present truth.

Meetings in Newton, Convis, and Battle Creek
We are requested to say that Bro. White will hold meetings Sabbath and First-day in Newton, and Sabbath only in Convis, at the time appointed in last Review. He will be at Battle Creek next Sabbath.
Michigan Health Institution Law
By Editor
We are happy to be able to report this week the passage through both branches of the Michigan Legislature of the bill to provide a law for the “formation of corporations for establishing health institutions.” The bill in the House encountered only two dissenting votes. It only waits the signature of the Governor, which it will doubtless in a few days receive, to become a law, and the way will then be open for the formation of a corporation to hold the Western Health Reform Institute.
Progress of the Meetings
THE MEETINGS in this place are progressing favorably. A good work is being done which we believe will result in a great and permanent advancement on the part of the the church, in the Christian life.
Death of C. M. Willis
We learned with much regret of the death of sister C. M. Willis, whose obituary notice will be found in another column. Our readers will recognize her as one with whom they have become familiar through her contributions to the Review. Her sweet lyrics, always abounding with genuine poetic merit, will be long remembered. As a poetic contributor to our columns, she stood in the foremost rank, and her loss will be deeply felt.
THE CONFERENCE.
By Editor
The time for our annual gatherings, General Conference, Publishing Association, &c., is approaching. These meetings will probably be held about the middle of May. Who is preparing to come? It is desired that there should be a general representation of the genuine whole-hearted lovers of truth, from all parts of the field. And not only do we inquire, Who are arranging their temporal matters so as to be here; but we raise the more important inquiry, Who are seeking the requisite heart work? How many are getting ready to help as well as to be helped, in the meetings? The occasion will be one of great importance; never more so. And we would that every individual who comes, might come with that love to God and man, that interest in the great cause of truth, and that living zeal to help on the work, which is found only in the enjoyment of a near communion with God. In addition to our usual amount of business, there will be the organization of the Association to hold the Health Institute. Meetings will have to commence as early in the week as Tuesday; and hence delegates to Gen. Conference, should reach here the week before. It is proposed to spend the Sabbath before the Conference as a day of general fasting and prayer. More particulars hereafter.
To Correspondents.
MRS. S. A. BARTLETT. On the subject of your queries, we refer you to the History of the Sabbath where you will find them all fully discussed and explained.
Articles Declined and Accepted
ARTICLES DECLINED. “The Christian.” Deals too evidently in personalities. It would doubtless be more appropriate to read it to those to whom it applies than to publish it in the paper.

Y.—Movements in Iowa.—The Worth of a Dollar.—Confusion Among Adventists.—Quarterly Meeting at Pine Island.—Hold Fast.—Looking for the Saviour.—Patience.—Our Associates.—Do the Scriptures teach the World's Conversion?—My Saviour.—Am I Ready?—A Little While.—Sermons from Elds.

Making Up Advance Credits
By Editor
This week we start a new heading in the column of receipts for the Review, for those who may wish to make up the rate of $2.50 a year on their advance credits at the time of the enlargement.
At the commencement of the present volume, when the enlargement was made, a great many of our subscribers were paid in advance, and credited at the old rate of $2.00 a year. As these credits now stand, without any additional pay, the Office will lose several hundred dollars in consequence of the additional expense of the enlargement. Several of our brethren have already sent in money to make up the present rate of $2.50 on their advance credits. Others are at liberty to do the same. All money received for this purpose will be credited hereafter under the proper heading.

The Health Institute.
By Jos. Clark
No enterprise could be more important at the present time, than that in which S. D. Adventists have enlisted; that is, the Health Reform. When we consider the diseased state of the human body, and the murderous attempts made by venders of deadly poisons, to restore health to the sick and the diseased, thus plunging the body already diseased into hopeless misery and death; we say, considering the fearful extent of this evil, we hail the health-reform movement as a bright and celestial star.
Foremost in this Reform, is the Western Health Reform Institute, at Battle Creek, already a fixed fact, and in full operation, on a small, or rather, a limited scale.
It seems that the friends of truth and humanity foresee a wide sphere for this department of usefulness, and more funds are needed to set it upon a footing such as the times demand; not as a gift, but as a good investment.
Suppose that twenty rich brethren invest one thousand each, and forty more invest five hundred each, and the poorer brethren make out the other ten thousand, with their one and two or three shares, each; thus the forty thousand can be easily and speedily raised, and all good stock at a premium.
Jos. CLARK.
