Further Labors

of this world will not shut the love of God out of their hearts. God is
converting strong men of wealth and bringing them into the ranks. If
they would prosper in the Christian life, grow in grace, and at last reap
a rich reward, they will have to use of their abundance to advance the
cause of truth.

After leaving Adams Center, we stayed a few days at Rochester,
and from that place came to Battle Creek, where we remained over
Sabbath and first day. Thence we returned to our home, where we
spent the next Sabbath and first day with the brethren who assembled
from different places.
My husband had taken hold of the book matter at Battle Creek,
and a noble example had been set by that church. At the meeting at
Fairplains he presented the matter of placing in the hands of all who
were not able to purchase, such works as Spiritual Gifts, Appeal to
Mothers, How to Live, Appeal to Youth, Sabbath Readings, and the
charts, with Key of Explanation. The plan met with general approval.
But of this important work I will speak in another place.
