WORDS OF CHEER.

By Eliza H. Morton

It is encouraging to V. M. workers to know that their labors are productive of good. The following extracts from letters received by the V. M. society at Allen's Corner, Maine, speak for themselves, and we submit them to the readers of the REVIEW, hoping that some will take courage and engage in the work with greater zeal and renewed earnestness, knowing that God is able to bless the feeblest efforts put forth in his cause.

A gentleman in Maine writes: “We received your kind and welcome letter, and were much encouraged by its contents. You asked us how we were led to embrace the truth. It was by reading the tracts and papers you sent and comparing them with our Bible. We have been visiting our friends, and they are very much interested in what we have told them. Please send them a paper and tract. They had never heard of the truth before. We are poor, but we will do all we can to spread a knowledge of the glorious truths we have learned. May God bless you.”

A lady in California writes: “I continue to receive the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and feel very grateful for the papers. They are a great comfort and blessing to me. Your Scripture references are comforting. I believe the day is near when we shall see Jesus as he is. The Sabbath question is almost settled. I believe you are right.”

Words like the above send a thrill of joy through the heart. Let us give God the praise and labor on.
