Extracts from Letters.

By Editor

BRO. J. Philbrick writes from Sunapee, N. H.:—
"O let us strive to be faithful. Shall we, after having tasted the powers of the world to come, again fall in love with the fashions and spirit of this world, and lose our reward? No, never! My heart says, onward to victory. And I desire above every thing to be a follower of Jesus daily; to live separate from the world, its fashions and influence; that when the mystery of God shall be finished, I may be prepared to meet my blessed Lord in peace, and this vile body be fashioned like unto his most glorious body; to receive the gift and promise of eternal life.
"My heart is often filled with gratitude while reading the Review, and drawn out in love and sympathy for and with God's people, with whom I hope to stand on mount Zion. My daily prayer shall be for their salvation, and victory over a proud and faithless world.
"Dear brethren, God has set his hand to a great work, and it will go onward. Then be of good cheer, ye saints of the Most High. Press together! press onward towards the glorious prize, and soon the reward will be yours."
In the time of prayer, let no business divert thee from it, that is not of present necessity.
When thou hast an opportunity of speaking a word for the good of another's soul, defer not the doing till another time.
