Extracts from Letters.

By Editor

SISTER H. Smiley writes from Unity, Me.:—'I often think, What could we do who are situated far from those of like precious faith, if it was not for the light and food we get through the paper. My prayer is that God will abundantly bless you in your labors of love, and that the Review may ever be a medium through which God can speak to the scattered ones.'

Sister F. Freeman writes from Arena, Wis.: 'We have not seen any of the traveling brethren since I wrote you before. We feel like the lost sheep. Can not some of the shepherds leave the ninety and nine and search up the scattered ones. There are no meetings that we can attend on the Sabbath, and when reading where meetings are held, we long to be with the little company. We have long felt this Laodicean feeling of lukewarmness and would ask the prayers of the brethren and sisters, that we may be more zealous, more devoted, in that profession wherewith we have been called.'
