Good News.

UNDER this heading, Bro. J. B. Goodrich gives in the SIGNS of Aug. 9, the following extract from a letter written by Bro. Wm. J. Dunscomb, of Portland, Me.:—

“With much pleasure I write you these lines. When I saw you last in Portland I made the statement that there was a company of Sabbath-keepers on an island in the bay, and last Tuesday I ventured to find the truth of the matter. There is a little company there who have started from reading the Bible. They have had no tracts, no preacher; but the Lord has been with them and enlightened their minds through his word. They were very glad to see me, and would like to have some preacher come and preach to them. They seem to understand all the principal truths, that is, the nature of man, the state of the dead, etc. There are about twelve families on the island, and three of them are keeping the Sabbath; a fourth has gone back, from opposition.”

Bro. G. proposes to visit these friends before camp-meeting.
