INTERESTING EXTRACTS.

By Mrs. Wm. H. Brown

We lately received a letter from a gentleman in North Carolina who had procured my address through the columns of the REVIEW. I referred to some persons in his own State to whom I had been sending reading matter. He desired me to send him the addresses in full. We have done so, and also sent, according to his request, some of our own works, papers, etc. He says:—

“I indorse the doctrine S. D. Adventists hold, and consider it present truth. I was convinced about a year ago that the seventh day is God’s holy Sabbath. The two resurrections are subjects I love dearly. The destruction of the wicked I indorse also. I have for some months past been

promulgating these truths, and, as a result, we have a company of seven Sabbath-keepers, besides children from thirteen years of age down to smaller ones. Let us give God all the glory. We are meeting with great opposition, and have been excluded from the Baptist church, because we are teaching doctrines contrary to Baptist discipline. We mean to organize a Sabbath-school, and do all the good we can; for the time to work is short.” We intend to send him a few copies of the Instructor to use in this school.

Thus the good work moves on. Truly we have reason to praise God for the T. and M. enterprise, and that we are permitted to bear some humble part in it. By engaging in this work we have already obtained an experience that is of great value to us. We would not exchange it for this world and its pleasures; for in a little while the world will pass away, but he that doeth the will of God will abide forever. Of late we have been praying earnestly to know the will of God; we feel assured that he has imparted unto us a measure of light; and we are fully determined to walk humbly in this light, and thereby be of that number who are doers of the word, and not hearers only.
