Extracts from Letters.

Bro. D. Chase writes from Fairhaven, Mass. Nov. 17th, 1857. "We are made to rejoice greatly by the good news we have through the Review, of the prosperity of the cause of truth. The little company here are striving to overcome. The interest in our meetings has been rising gradually for a number of months, and I hope we all shall soon pay the price and obtain the gold, white raiment and eye-salve. O how small all earthly things appear, when we get our eyes anointed with eye-salve. It is then we can turn the telescope towards the inheritance in the earth made new, with its entire perfection in everything. Well may the poet say:
"I long to be there, and the thought that 'tis near, Makes me almost impatient for Christ to appear, And fit up that dwelling of glories so rare, The earth robed in beauty, I long to be there."
"Let us meditate much on the words of Jesus, who said, 'Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.' I want to be meek and lowly, yea very lowly, under a deep sense of past follies, pride and error. O may I humbly walk in the narrow way to life, that I may be hid in the day of his anger."
