Extracts from Letters.

Bro. A. Smith writes from Portage City, Wis.: "If any person has reason to thank God for his goodness, I have. He has kept me with his kind care, and watched over me all the days of my life up to the present moment. He has drawn me by the sweet influence of his love, and called me to see myself as I was, and caused me to embrace the truth of his word, and lay hold of salvation through the precious blood of Christ, and established in my heart a principle of love; and I have been enabled through that love to love God with my whole heart, might, mind and strength, and love my neighbor as myself, and my brethren with a fullness of that love. He has made me a happy recipient of his grace, and I will serve him with my whole heart. I will take his word for my faith and practice, and do all duties that the Lord makes known to me, praying God to direct and influence my judgment at all times, and being directed by his Spirit, taking his word for the man of my counsel, live as near to God as I can, live up to all the light I have presented to me through his word, do all the good I can, and follow no man, or any set of men, unless they are following the examples of Christ, and the teachings of God's word."
