EXTRACT FROM A LETTER.

Sr. Libbie M. Carlisle, writing from West Randolph, Vermont, adds the following private note, which she will please pardon us for publishing:—

“I cannot tell you how much I prize the REVIEW as it comes to our fireside each week laden with rich and choice instruction from able writers. And it cheers my heart to read of the new ones embracing the truth. About three years ago I accidentally saw one of these papers; and I liked it so much that I subscribed for it immediately. About two years ago I embraced present truth and commenced keeping the Bible Sabbath, and it grows dearer to me day by day. Although in one sense I might be called one of the ‘lonely ones,’ yet I can hardly say I am, for I have my dear Bible to peruse, also our good REVIEW and SIGNS, besides plenty of books.”

“I am quite feeble in health, and had it not been for the HEALTH REFORMER and kind care of dear Sister W. and family, I should now no doubt be lying in my grave. I have had twelve different physicians during my life, and much of the time have been under their care; but since I dismissed my physicians and commenced living out the health reform, I find myself much better. I cannot express the joy of my heart in learning this better way.”

“I have sometimes so longed for the privileges others enjoy in going to meeting; but I try to be content and live so near to God that by and by with all his faithful ones I may enjoy ‘that perfect rest that remaineth to the people of God.’”
