Miracles in My Life - J. N. Loughborough

the Olcott meeting which was attended by Elder
and Mrs. White, she gave us a testimony on the
importance of continuing longer in one place. "It
would be better and accomplish more good if there
were fewer tent-meetings and a stronger force or
company, with different gifts of labor. Then there
should be a longer stay in a place where an interest
is awakened. There has been too much haste in
taking down the tent. Some begin to be favorably
impressed, and there is need that persevering
efforts be put forth till their minds become settled,
and they commit themselves to the truth."
At a conference held in Battle Creek on the
28th and 29th of April, 1855, the brethren voted to
invite Elder White to move the Review Office from
Rochester to Battle Creek. Dan Palmer, Cyrenius
Smith, J. P. Kellogg, and Henry Lyon agreed to
furnish $300 each to purchase a lot and erect a
publishing office. They secured the lot on the
south-east corner of West Main and Washington
Streets, and erected a two-story wooden building
20 x 30 feet. The first number of the Review
published here was Dec. 4, 1855.
