Extracts from Letters.

By Editor

Bro. Stewart writes from Cleveland:—"The cause in Cleveland is at a very low ebb, there being but three or four families who keep the Sabbath; yet we should be very glad to have some of the ministering brethren call on us and hold up the truth of the Third Angel's Message before the people. We are sorry to learn by the Review that Bro. Bates passed us by without calling. We would be glad to have any of the brethren call on us as they pass through Cleveland, if they cannot come expressly for that purpose.
"A Bro. Edgerton from a neighboring town was in a few days since, who informed us that there were those in his neighborhood who had heard a little upon the subject and wanted to hear more."
Sister B. M. Hibbard writes from E. Wilson, N. Y.:—"My desire and prayer is that the light of truth may continue to shine upon His word, that we may not be left in darkness, but be led into all truth. I do not feel that I can do without the Review. I prize it next to my Bible.
"It is but about three years since I knew there was such a paper printed. It was sent into the neighborhood free. I sent after it as soon as I heard of it; for I did not know what ground the Advent people stood on since 1843, as we moved from Northfield, Vt. about that time, to Wilson, N. Y. And for six years I lived without hearing about the cause, and when I got hold of the Review it was meat in due season. It seemed that I was a new creature, and in a new atmosphere. I love the truth, for it makes me free."
Sister Beamis writes from Portland Mich.:—"I wish to throw in my testimony on the Lord's side. I cannot express my love and gratitude to God for his loving kindness in bringing me to see the light of the Third Angel's Message. There are a few families here who are trying to keep all the Commandments of God. We meet every Sabbath to worship God, and we are blest in so doing. We attended a meeting six miles from this place last Sabbath, where two kept the Sabbath for the first time, and resolved to keep it hereafter."
