IN a letter containing a subscription order, from a lady in Union County, Oregon, are the following appreciative and encouraging words:

"I came in possession of the SIGNS about two years ago, through the kindness of a friend, for which I tender my sincere thanks. It has been a great comfort to me; and it will probably never be revealed in this world how much comfort and consolation your instructive communications have been to many who have been laboring under a life-long mistake. But may God be praised that he has put his will into the hearts of men to point so plainly and accurately his plans and precepts.

"I believe the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, and am trying to keep it; and I solicit the prayers of your people that I may be more faithful, for it appears that my efforts are so feeble that there seems to be no good in them. There are no Adventists here, no Sabbath-keepers, and I feel as one standing alone; yet I know that Jesus stands with those who desire to serve him in the right way. I hope to be able to attend the camp-meeting in Portland.

"I want to do something for Jesus, and what can it be? Though I am sorely afflicted, and have been for several years, yet I know there is some place for me in my Master's vineyard. You have my earnest prayers for abundant success, and may the blessing of God rest upon his faithful workers."
