Extracts from Letters.

By Editor

BRO. T. Bryant, jr., writes from Jay, Me.: "Feeling that it might not be amiss for me to say a few words to the friends scattered abroad, by whose letters I have been often cheered and encouraged, I embrace the present opportunity, and I feel for one that I do desire to be a disciple of the meek and lowly Saviour, who came into this lower world, lived, our example, and died, our sacrifice, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, there to appear for us. I also believe that he is soon again to appear to raise the sleeping saints and change the living; and I desire to be among the number who shall be made immortal when Jesus comes. But still I feel that I am too much in the lukewarm state, as has been very clearly shown."
"Our number in this place is small who are trying to heed the Third Angel's Message; but we are trying to be zealous and repent, and endeavor to live more fully for the Lord. We do verily believe that the Lord is at work even in this place; and we know that he can work and none can hinder. Praised be his name! Let us one and all work while the day lasts, while there are those around us who may be saved from ruin, saved from the traditions of men, and sealed with the seal of the living God."
BRO. Jno. Carter writes from Leonia, Mich., March 12th, 1857: "I am trying to take heed to the counsel of the true Witness to the Laodiceans; for I believe it is the last message to the church. I am trying to keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus. It has been three years since I commenced keeping the Sabbath. Truly the Lord is good. He is preparing a people for the final work with the powers of darkness. I feel to thank God that I have understood the Third Angel's Message. The Review is a welcome paper to me. It has given me light and knowledge on the Bible. Yes, I believe that soon our great High Priest will leave the heavenly Sanctuary, and he will gather his people home. I want to see the end of the race, and be permitted to stand on mount Zion with the 144000 that will be redeemed from the earth."
