Extracts from Letters.

Bro. J. Hart writes from Freeport, Ills., Jan. 27th, 1858: "Last First-day two German families came into our meeting. They seemed much interested, although but one of them could understand us, and that imperfectly. After meeting we conversed with them some. They said they were Baptists, but we were the right people, because we kept the commandments of God. They said that the seventh day was the Sabbath, and they should keep it if God helped them. Their neighbors say they are christians. One of them said he had been a Roman Catholic, and the Lord helped him to leave that church, and he believed the Lord would help him to keep the Sabbath.
"You can scarcely imagine my feelings to see those of a foreign tongue so anxious to understand, and no means to get the knowledge before them. We told them of the German tract. They are anxious to get it. We hope the time is not far distant when there will be those that will be able to teach the truth to all that wish to obey it.
"There is a large settlement of Germans east of this place; and those that are acquainted with them think that the Sabbath will be received among them."
