INTERESTING EXTRACTS.

By Mrs. Wm. H. Brown

A PROFESSOR in the South, who has for two years been a paying subscriber for the Health Reformer, writes, “You will please order for me a continuance of the Health Reformer, now called Good Health, and greatly improved both externally and internally.” And he further says, “Oh, if I only could sufficiently thank you for the interest you feel in that endless destiny which awaits me!” He has been a reader of our works for some time, and may the Lord help him to see the need of putting their teachings in practice.

The following is from a Methodist minister in Georgia: “I received your highly refreshing Christmas letter, together with a bundle of reading matter. I have a special liking for the writings of Mrs. Ellen G. White. ‘The coming of the Lord draweth nigh.’ I do not doubt it; but my great anxiety and care is, to be filled with the Holy Ghost always, and then, when the last trump shall sound, I shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and be forever with the Lord. But inasmuch as God has not revealed to us the time of his coming, I do not stop to think much about that; but it will come ‘as a thief in the night,’ and I think of this, and humbly hope to have ‘oil in my vessel with my lamp.’ This is the all-important matter to us. A grand revival at Battle Creek some time ago filled my soul with gladness. The tireless zeal of the Adventists, their broad liberality, and the thousand-and-one good things they do, please me greatly. They are earnest, faithful workers in the kingdom and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ; hence while I do not see some things in the light they do, I rejoice with them in their efforts to promote holiness of heart and life. I am always happy to hear from you. Would like several of the Battle Creek books.”
