Extracts from Correspondence.
A SISTER writes from Milwaukee, Wis., that when she and her family came to that place, they did not intend to stop there, but she was taken sick. Her daughter attended the Presbyterian church, and mentioned her mother's sickness. A benevolent lady went to visit the sick stranger, and learning that she was seeking light on the Advent doctrine, told her that she had a son in the place who was taking an Advent paper. This paper was the REVIEW; and in it this sister found what she had long been seeking—a harmonious interpretation of the word of God. She embraced the truth, and is now rejoicing in it. M. E. STILES, of Mercer Co., Ill., has never regretted starting in the cause of present truth; loves the holy Sabbath, and feels that it is a sacred day; believes that God is in the work. The truth never looked so precious to her as now. Asks the prayers of the church for her unconverted family. THOS. DEMMON, Richland Co., Wis., has taken the REVIEW nearly ten years, and wondered each year if the next would be as interesting as the past. He says: “But in my opinion there is a marked improvement. How the articles, ‘Our Faith and Hope,’ cheer the flagging spirit! How encouraging the ‘Reports’! How replete with the spirit of the message are the articles! And in every part of the paper there is something to reprove, instruct, encourage, admonish, exhort to faithfulness, and to labor in the Master's vineyard, and lay up treasures in Heaven by using the means in our hands, to advance the cause. By the grace of God, I mean to be of the number of those who have overcome their faults and done their work well.” E. O. UNDERHILL, Clinton Co., Mich., writes: There are so many avenues to the heart, so many feelings, emotions, and motives, of the presence of which we are scarcely aware, that at no moment can we safely lay down our watch. If the devil cannot overcome us in one way, he will try hard to do it in another. C. P. WILLIAMS, Jo Daviess Co., Ill., being deprived by deafness of the privilege of hearing the sound of any human voice, and the proclamation of the truth by the Lord's servants, thanks God for the light which comes to him every week through the REVIEW.
