Extracts from Letters.

Sister F. Rogers writes from Mauston, Wis., Oct. 18th, 1858: "I cannot express my joy and gratitude that I ever heard the Third Angel's Message. O! how glorious the plan of salvation seems to me since I have had my eyes opened to behold the beauty and harmony there in the Bible.

"What wondrous, what unbounded love, Is seen throughout the gospel plan."

"We are living in a very solemn time. Soon the vials of God's unmingled wrath will be poured out upon a guilty world ; soon the mandate will go forth, 'He that is filthy, let him be filthy still, and he that is holy let him be holy still;' soon Jesus will come to make up his jewels. O let us be getting ready ! It is my heart's desire and prayer to God, that my-self with all those of like precious faith might put on the whole armor, that we may be able to stand in the evil day.

The church in this place is in rather a lukewarm

state. We have no excuse, for we have great privileges here, such as few enjoy; a large society of Sabbath-keepers, and the privilege of hearing from God out of his word every Sabbath, from one of his messengers. I do hope we may, all of us, be zealous and repent."
