Extracts from Letters.

Bro. J. B. Frishie writes from Bowne, Kent Co., Mich., March 17th, 1856:— I am now lecturing to crowds in the town of Bowne, fourteen miles north of Hastings, where they have never heard a lecture before. What the result will be, the Lord only knows. I have given eight lectures in two large school-houses, which have been filled to overflowing. All listened with attention to the discourses on the present truth. They have bought almost the last remnant of books that I had on hand. Many say that they never saw the people so stirred up before in Bowne, and never saw the houses so filled before. There is some opposition, and that is quite strong. But I am in hopes it will give way before the clear truth.

“There is a neighborhood four miles north from Grand Rapids, where they are all awake to hear.”
