Extracts from Letters.

Bro. S. W. Crandall writes from Rubicon, Wis : \"I would say the cause is onward here. Although we are frequently told that this doctrine of present truth will come to naught, our confidence is that God is in the work, and so long as this is the case we need not fear. God sometimes makes use of unexpected instruments to carry forward this work. A friend of Bro. Z. Andrews wrote a letter on the subject of the Sabbath which caused Bro. A. to investigate. Accordingly he and his wife came out and left the church to which they belonged and commenced keeping the Sabbath. Bro. A. preached a few discourses which resulted in the conviction of others who assembled themselves together on the Sabbath for worship. The Lord was with that little company and united their minds, and he has added to their number such as I trust will be saved. This has been accomplished during the last four years, and still God is working, the truth is spreading and I feel encouraged to press on to mount Zion. The church appears to be united and striving for entire consecration to God. May God have all the praise for what he has done for his people, and for what he is still doing.\"
