Testimonies for the Church Volume 1 - A New You Ministry

After leaving Adams Center, we stayed a few days at Rochester, and from thatplace came to Battle Creek, where we remained over Sabbath and first day. Thence wereturned to our home, where we spent the next Sabbath and first day with the brethrenwho assembled from different places.My husband had taken hold of the book matter at Battle Creek, and a noble examplehad been set by that church. At the meeting at Fairplains he presented the matter ofplacing 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 importantwork I will speak in another place.*****Chap. 114 - The Case of Hannah MoreThe next Sabbath we met with the Orleans church, where my husband introducedthe case of our much-lamented sister, Hannah More. When Brother Amadon visitedus last summer, he stated that Sister More had been at Battle Creek, and not findingemployment there, had gone to Leelenaw County to find a home with an old friendwho had been a fellow laborer in missionary fields in Central Africa. My husband andmyself felt grieved that this dear servant of Christ found it necessary to deprive herselfof the society of those of like faith, and we decided to send for her to come and finda home with us. We wrote inviting her to meet us at our appointment at Wright, andcome home with us. She did not meet us at Wright. I here give her response to ourletter, dated August 29, 1867, which we received at Battle Creek:“Brother White: Your kind communication reached me by this week’s mail.
