Extracts from Letters.

By Editor

Bro. E. Everts writes from Round Grove, Whiteside Co., Ill.:—"We find some who have ears to hear, some who acknowledge the truth as we present it, and some half dozen have decided to keep all the commandments. We find more who are looking for the coming of the Lord than we expected; and we find some who were keeping the Sabbath, who appear to delight in so-doing; but O how deformed they appear with their errors, of the "Spirit-Land," the conscious, living dead, and a "Triune God." How incomprehensible to attempt to comprehend liv[ing] dead men; and, Father and Son, one person!

Yours, trembling at the thrilling word of inspiration, still hoping for salvation from coming troubles and for a crown with Paul."

Bro. J. M. Lindsay writes from Olcott, N. Y.:—"We are glad the Review comes to us weekly, filled with matter so well adapted to the wants of the remnant. My heart is warmed and my eyes melted into tears when I read the cheering letters it contains. I am glad it is so well established. I hope it will be well sustained."

Bro. and Sr. Ayres write from Cumberland Co., N. J.:—"The God of our fathers has blest us through the labors of those engaged in spreading the present truth of Rev. xiv, 9. We feel in some degree the importance of being awake to the subject. We see that the nations are angry; and that the judgment hour is slighted by the professed churches. The signs in the sun and moon, as Christ spake of them, and the falling stars, are not regarded as signs of the end.

We firmly believe them to be evidences of the Lord's soon coming."

Bro. J. Dorcas writes from Fremont, Ohio:—"Dear brother, press forward! The work is rising, and is onward. The Review is read with interest by all who take it here, beside some others who do not. It is richly laden with truth."

Brethren, be assured that nothing gives more courage to those who are engaged in the publishing department of the cause of truth, than to enjoy the blessing of God, and to receive cheering news from the wide harvest-field. We need not faint nor be discouraged when we have evidence that the cause is prospering; that the Ark of God is with us, and the glory has not departed from Israel.—Ed.
