Extracts of Letters.

By Editor

Jos. Clarke writes from Portage, Ohio:—"Enclosed is $1. Please send, by mail, its value, less the postage, in the most effective tracts for distribution.

People here are ready to read and hear, but we are not able to distribute as many as we would. Many hard speeches are made against our little band of First-day breakers alias Sabbath-keepers; but we trust the Lord is with us and will protect us. The way is rough and stormy, but the promise is full of hope while we keep the commands of God and have the testimony of Jesus."

Bro. J. Blain writes from DuBuque, Iowa, July 27th, 1855:—"Permit me to say through your paper to ministering brethren with your views, traveling or living in the west, that they can obtain a supply of my work, Death not Life, to sell on commission, of Bro. Samuel Brown of Millwaukie, Wis., and of S. L. Walter, Chicago, Ill., corner of west Randolph and Langamon Sts.; or of C. R. Blanchard of Moline, Rock Island Co., Ill; also at my house, No. 19 North Division St., Buffalo, N. Y."

Bro. Thos. R. Irons writes from Hartwick, July 30th, 1855:—"I would say through the Review that this part of the country stands in need of some talented man to proclaim against priest-craft, and to preach thy kingdom come, instead of has come; and that man is mortal, not immortal; and that Christ will soon come, not a thousand years hence; and that the saints or meek will inherit the earth in its purified state. Although I talk what I can, yet those that would please the world are many. Doctrines of men flourish much. May the Lord send some one of his servants this way."
