Extracts from Letters.

By Editor

Bro. E. M. L. Cory writes from Meridian, Mich. July 11th, 1858: "A few names of us (about five, generally) endeavor to meet for prayer and social worship, on God's holy Sabbath, and encourage one another by our exhortations, kindly admonitions, and the expression of our sincere determinations to press forward in the service of our heavenly Father during our probationary state. I pray the Lord to help us to reduce these good resolutions to constant practice, until he shall see fit to remove us from labor to reward."

We extract the following from a letter from Bro. M. B. Czechowski to Bro. M. G. Kellogg of this place. Many of the friends will be glad to hear from him.—Ed.

"The Lord's vineyard I find in a better state than I expected, and I find plenty of work in this extensive field, and should be very glad if I found more time to devote to it. The grace of God has been manifested in my mission thus far. Last Sabbath my former French Baptist deacon and his wife were received as members of the true church of God. We had a very interesting meeting that day at Bro. Whipple's house, at Perry's Mills. The Holy Spirit was manifested in our midst. After attending to the holy ordinances, we left for home; Bro. and Sr. Bricke living at Centerville, a distance of nine miles, and myself and family five miles from Perry's Mills. On our way we had a very hard shower of rain accompanied with thunder; but it did not detain us. We went on our way singing in French, songs of praise to God, thankful that we no more worship the golden calf."
