Extracts from Letters.

Bro. J. Kellogg writes from Berlin, Mich., March 29th, 1858 : "It is a blessed time here. The Lord is doing a great work. They keep coming in one after another, and leaving their old creeds behind. God is opening the eyes of his people, and they are looking around them and seeing where they are. Many stand waiting to hear the truth, who have not yet heard it. Since Bro. Frisbie left there has been great inquiring when he is coming back. Some of the Methodists here come to our meetings. The house is full every Sabbath. They come from six or seven miles around to get what little knowledge they can of the present truth. The more I read the Bible the firmer I grow in the present truth. The way grows brighter. Bless God! I hope it will unto the perfect day."

Sister B. A. Porter, writes from Ostemo, Mich., Apr. 1st, 1858 : "I still feel the same determination to press onward in this glorious cause. I rejoice in the bright prospect that lies before us. If we are faithful a little while longer, we shall soon behold the King in his beauty and dwell in his presence forever. The cause of God is prospering among us. We meet together almost every Sabbath for worship and the Lord meets with us. Some have embraced the Sabbath, and others are searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so. I am striving to overcome the world, the flesh, and the love of life, and to gain the victory over every besetting sin."
