By Mary Martin

The following are letters received by the So. Lancaster V. M. Society.

A gentleman from Clemmonsville, N. C., writes: “You wish to know how I like your paper. I am very much pleased with it. I would like to have it, and also some of your tracts. I think I can get subscribers for it. We have a large Sabbath-school, and would like a large assortment of tracts.”

Another, writing from Monroe Co., Georgia, says: “Your books and papers are most gratefully accepted. The sermons in those tracts are well worth any one’s reading. They have informed me upon subjects which I never thought of before, and I thank you for it. If I can, I will send some subscribers for your paper. I am much interested in the subject you speak of, and will give it my prayerful attention. Will in the future ask you some questions concerning your doctrine.”

The following is from Monroe Co., N. C., written by a presiding elder over twenty-two churches: “Such reading matter as you have sent me and as is contained in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, I deem highly instructive. I read it all myself, and then hand the papers to the subordinate preachers in my district. Upon every subject discussed I have had my eyes opened, and received much help and instruction. Will the society and secretary accept my most sincere gratitude for their favor to me? The subjects discussed and comments appearing in the SIGNS are grand. The Origin and Destiny of Satan, and Three Messages of Rev. 14, are of inestimable value to us. May we have more for our use and distribution? If so, we will be thankful. The YOUTH’S INSTRUCTOR, ADVENT REVIEW, &c., are all full of wholesome reading.”
