Extracts of Letters.

Sister Nancy Guider writes from Sullivan Co., Ind., Dec. 4th, 1855:—"It has been about six months since I embraced the doctrine of the seventh-day Sabbath. I have been a full believer in the Second Advent doctrine since 1843, and so was my husband, but he has went back into the world, and in 1844 he bought a farm thirty-five miles from Cincinnati, which deprived me of all my privileges of meeting with the children of the Lord. My sorrow, and trials, since that time have almost overcome me; but I thank my heavenly Father that he has kept me thus far; and I trust he will keep me to the end."

Dear brethren, send some of the Lord's children this way. There are a number of brethren about Sullivan, and much good might be done there. I am thankful that I have been permitted to see your valuable paper.

I desire the prayers of the church that my faith fail not, but that I may grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour, and meet you all at the resurrection of the just."
