By Editor

BRO. HICKS writes from Providence, R. I., Sept. 5th, 1853:—"I have just finished reading your article the 'Signs of the Times.' It contains a collection of facts that ought to be taken notice of, or heeded. But who will read it understandingly out of the pale of commandment-keepers.
"O what a solemn time is this! The world is going crazy, and all the people mad with but few exceptions. 'Babylon is fallen.' Never was there a truth shone plainer into an Adventist's mind than that the protestant sectarian churches are the Babylon of the Apocalypse, and that she has fallen, and will soon more plainly develop herself as being the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
BRO. EMMONS writes from Boston, Mass., Sept. 8th, 1853:—"I send you one dollar for your paper from an old disciple. Pray the Lord to send out hunters. It rejoices my heart greatly to believe the repairers are at work repairing the breach that Satan has made in God's Holy Law."
SISTER M. STEERE writes from East McDonough, Sept. 1853:—"I have received and read the Review about eighteen months, and I know not how to do without it. It is an unspeakable satisfaction to me. I am alone in this place, keeping the commandments of God. There is one sister three or four miles distant. I most earnestly solicit the prayers of the saints for us that we may get the victory, live by faith, so that we may inherit the promise. Cannot some lecturing brother call on us? We have not had any meetings, since last Winter."
BRO. J. DEMMING JR. writes from Manlius, N. Y., Aug. 30th, 1853:—"The Lord has done much for me in these last days of peril, in showing me his truth and giving me a heart to obey it. I thank his holy name for his goodness unto me, and for the blessings he bestows from day to day. I desire the spread of the truth, and it is my prayer that we may meet in the kingdom of God."
