TRUTH APPRECIATED.

By Editor

THOSE who are occasionally sending donations that we may be enabled to send the REVIEW to some free, may be assured that their liberality is not in vain, if we may judge from the following letter from Mrs. E. Ireland of Wayne Co. N. Y.—ED.

"Never before having embraced the opportunity to express my gratitude and thanks to you and the committe for sending to me as you have gratis, that weekly messenger, the Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, I would now say that it is the only preacher I have on the present truth, and consequently it is doubly valuable. It is as it were a stay and staff in my declining years, and leads me by its truths to try by God's grace to keep my lamp trimmed and burning, ready to receive the call of the Bridegroom. I long to see some of like faith in the good cause, and hear from their lips the words of life. I try what I can to spread the truth of the advent near by circulating my papers and tracts among those with whom I associate.

"We appear to be living under the immediate influence of the two-horned beast and the false prophet. There never was a time in my remembrance when the churches of Christ, so-called, were more in sound slumber than now. Oh, the necessity of some one to wake them from their sleep before it is too late! Oh, that they could be reminded of the call, 'Come out of her my people.'"
