Good Fruits.

A BROTHER writes from Elk Point, Dakota Territory:—

“I was persuaded last summer by an Adventist sister to read the REVIEW, a few numbers of which she gave me, and also several tracts. I found them stored with such sound scriptural doctrine and based upon such plain and substantial arguments that, after a careful study of the Scriptures on the subjects during the past winter, I have concluded to accept the truth, or, as some of my neighbors call it, the ‘strange doctrine.’ There is no church or class of Adventists in this country—none who keep the Sabbath of the Lord but the sister above referred to and her family. But I pray you to send us a minister as soon as possible. I think good success would attend an effort here.”

Another brother writes from Sangerville:—

“I wish to acknowledge, by the liberality of some unknown friend, the receipt of your valuable and highly-prized paper. I look for its weekly visits with anxiety, and with pleasure devour its whole contents, and then send them abroad on their silent mission of light and love. And, although I have never practiced the one great truth it promulgates, yet I can see no good reason why I should not. It requires some nerve to divest ourselves of all our preconceived opinions and step out alone in a new direction; but I trust the grace of God is sufficient for me, and that I shall come off conqueror and more, through Him who first loved me.”

Another writes from W. Wardsboro, Vt.:—

“I was very much interested in an article in the REVIEW a few weeks ago on the Sabbath question, and would indorse what is there written; for I owe my light on the Sabbath, and, under God, my conversion, to its principles, and the observance of it to its teachings and the prayers of an esteemed disciple of Christ who felt its importance. It contains the very information that is needed to lead the honest in heart to an observance of the fourth commandment.”
