V. M. Society Items.

By Eliza H. Morton

The following extracts from letters received by the V. M. Society at Allen’s Corner, Me., tend to show the interest awakened. A gentleman from South Monmouth, Me., writes: “The Signs of the Times brings the truth to us.” A lady from East Bowdoinham, Me., says, “I am much interested in the paper.” A gentleman writing from Yarmouth, Me., says, “I want to take that paper; what is the price?” A lady in Limerick, Me., says, “The paper is good. I lend it far and near, and every one seems pleased to read it.” A lady from Massachusetts writes: “I never met with but one person who believed in the second advent doctrine. I received much light from him in regard to the state of the dead.”

We receive many letters similar to the above, and the people seem eager to know the truth.

Dear sisters, work on, pray on, and press on. “What you do, you know not now,” but the record is kept. Angels of light bear upward a faithful account of each day’s labor, and the smallest deed, if performed in the spirit of meekness, may glitter on the pages of the books above.

“Ofttimes when faint and weary, You may think your toil all vain; Faint not, yours will be richer Than sheaves of golden grain.”
