Extracts of Letters.

Bro. C. B. Dingley writes from E. Pittsfield, Me: "I believe that the Lord will help his little flock; and it is his good pleasure to give them the kingdom. The opposers of the seventh-day Sabbath are on every hand, but I believe with all my heart we have got the truth. This world looks dark and dreary, but I thank the Lord it is not the saints eternal home. The graves will soon give up their dead, and the saints put on immortality. Let us have our lamps trimmed and burning, that we may enter in to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

"Although it has been but a short time since I started to keep all the commandments of the Lord, I can say, Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend them. It is my ardent desire that some of God's faithful ones might come this way. My house is open at any time for the saints to meet for his worship; yet I can praise the Lord for what privileges I do enjoy, and I rejoice that I am not left with the scoffing multitude, of whom it will be said, Forasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then dear brethren and sisters, let us endure hardness as good soldiers."

Bro. I. D. Cramer writes from West Milton, N. Y., Apr., 1855:—"I feel thankful that the Lord has raised up faithful laborers in his vineyard, to whom he has given ability to set forth the true light before a gainsaying world. How glad we would be to see the cause moving forward with more rapidity. It appears as though the loud cry will soon cause the inhabitants of our land to tremble. May the Lord speed the message, and bring the welcome day of Jacob's deliverance."
