Extracts from Letters.

Bro. S. Warner writes from Providence, R. I: “I can truly say that I find the Review more and more interesting to me, and I really do not know what I should do without it. The Bible and these papers are all the preaching I now have. My relish for the popular preaching of the day all disappeared long, long ago. It is true that the chapels, churches, meeting-houses &c., are all open to me, but our Saviour's words do prevent my attendance on them, viz., “In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” I can find none there who are in the third angel's message. I humbly trust that I am in an acceptable degree in the message, and in Jesus the ark of safety, blessed be his holy name! and I do feel a determination and a will to continue therein till the end, or until the coming of the Lord, if I am permitted

to tarry till he come. I have been permitted to encumber the ground, as it were, almost seventy-six years, and consequently cannot expect to live many years longer; but I feel humbly to say, Lord thy will be done. My love to all the brethren.”
