Extracts from Correspondence.
T. L. Gilbert of Liv. Co., Mich., is cheered with the good news he hears from brethren and sisters through the REVIEW; enjoys the Lord’s blessing, and a hope, daily growing brighter and more precious. Hopes to be kept till Jesus appears in the clouds of heaven. J. W. and S. C. Bond, of California, thank God for the light of present truth, and are looking for the soon coming of the Lord. They are encouraged as they hear of the many who are striving to keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Sr. E. M. Brant, of Minnesota, thinks the two dollars, subscription price of the REVIEW, the most profitably invested of any two dollars she ever spent. She says: I feel encouraged, reproved, and comforted, by the perusal of its varied contents. It helps to make the Sabbath pleasant, and profitable. I find a sweet satisfaction in following the path of patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and the dear Redeemer, in keeping the day of God’s rest which he sanctified and blessed. I feel grateful for being enlightened on a subject which now seems so plain and of such vital importance. I find a growing conviction that the day of Christ’s second coming is near. The word of God, and the signs of the times all unite in showing that we are living in the last days. Solemn thought! that the destiny of all will soon be eternally fixed. I hope to be numbered with those who have built on the rock, so that when the fearful storms descend, I may be able to stand. D. Upson, of Cayuga Co., N. Y., admires the faith of the gospel as presented by S. D. Adventists, and has a growing interest in this good and glorious cause. He is glad of the long experience he has had in the Advent doctrine, and still loves the appearing of Jesus, and believes it to be near at hand.
