Extracts from Letters.

Sister Jane Demarest writes from Clarkson, N. Y., June 28th, 1857: "My mind has not been clear as to what the gold that we are commanded to buy is. Some think it is love, but to me it appears more likely that it is faith that works by love and purifies the heart; for without faith it is impossible to please God. If we keep the Commandments of God and have not the Faith of Jesus, it will avail us nothing. Is not the white raiment the righteousness of the saints? as Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness; and to keep our eye single to the glory of God the eye-salve? for if our eye be single our whole body will be full of light. I desire some one to write on this all-important subject, in order that we may understand our true position. I am desirous to know the truth and obey it."
