Extracts from Letters.

Bro. A. Abbey writes from Hubbardsville, N. Y.: “When we read of the interesting meetings that have been held in the western States, it almost seems that we are with them participating in their joys, and hearing them tell their resolutions. It cheers us to hear of the prosperity of the cause in any place. Ever since we read the proceedings of the Battle Creek conference, we have been in full union with it. We believe fully that the plan of Systematic Benevolence is a plan that will meet the demands of the cause. A few of us in this place are striving to go forward, having union for our strength, love for our banner, and eternal life for our motto, while our watchword is, The commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We are satisfied that we are living in a very important period of the world's history, and we believe also that we are living in the time when the last state of the church is being manifested. How important then it is that we heed fully the counsel of the faithful and true Witness.”
