Extracts from Letters.

Sister Mary E. Cahoon writes from Portage City Wis.: ‐Dear Brethren and Sisters, though we have never met face to face, yet I feel there is a bond which unites our hearts, even the new commandment which Christ gave to his disciples. I am still striving to serve God. Although recently called to pass through deep waters of affliction, still I love him, and trust in him.

‐The little church in this place are still striving through many trials and much darkness to press onward toward eternal life. We are earnestly desirous that some of the messengers of truth should come this way. We seem to be forsaken by them, yet we believe not by God, and we are determined to trust in him and try to keep all his commandments, hoping ere long to sing with all the redeemed the song of deliverance.‐
