WHAT THEY SAY.

R. Thompson, of Philadelphia, who has been for thirty years a member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, in a good letter just received says, “Since this message has been revealed to me I am in a new life. I always regarded the Bible with reverence as the word of God; now more than ever do I love God and his Son Jesus, his word and his law revealed therein.”

M. J. Casselman, speaks of his missionary efforts as follows:—

“I feel greatly encouraged to labor on in the cause of truth. This season, while canvassing the same ground that I canvassed last year, I was cheered by hearing those who had taken the VOICE OF TRUTH and REFORMER remark that they never had such a good paper as the VOICE before. The REFORMER is doing a good work in the community where it has been circulated. Some that a year ago were quite prejudiced against any of our publications now say they think the REFORMER one of the best health journals published. It appears plain to me that the truths we hold are making very favorable impressions on the minds of many. I am impressed with the importance of more fully engaging in this work.”

Sister S. Sisley, of Battle Creek, has recently received a letter from a lady residing in Lincolnshire, England. This lady, sister Anna Wilkinson, with her husband, was brought to a knowledge of the truth through the influence of the REVIEW and other publications, sent them by their daughter, now deceased. The following is an extract from her letter:—

“My husband wishes me to inform you that he is a firm believer in the seventh-day Sabbath. We wish there could be a society of Sabbath-keepers formed here. We, my husband and myself, have kept it nearly two years, and I think many others believe it to be right, and would observe it if there was a church here. I hope your society will endeavor to supply England with suitable laborers to carry on this important work.”

“Some sneer, and try to bring forced arguments to baffle us and destroy our faith; others have written at length upon the subject; but the more they sneer and the more they try to deceive, the more fully are we convinced that this is the truth. We now read God’s word with our eyes open to see the truth in its purity as we never saw it before. We are not eminent scholars, but the things that are hidden from the wise and prudent are revealed to babes. I trust we have come as babes to Christ. In him is all wisdom. Oh! may we cleave to him more closely.”

“My husband wishes me to ask you if you can send us the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and if you will be so kind as to let us know through what medium we can pay for it and the REVIEW.”
