Extracts from Letters.

Sister M. P. Shaw writes from North Fairhaven, Mass. "The commandment-keepers in this town and Dartmouth are well pleased with the doings of the Conference and especially with the appropriate name and also the unity generally increasing in the body, believing it will continue to increase among all the living members of the body of Christ until they all learn to move in perfect harmony and promptness in doing the will of their Master, who worketh in them to will and to do of his good pleasure. We rejoice greatly in the prosperity of the cause and good news from the messengers who write; and we hope to hear from them all oftener."

Bro. W. H. Fortune writes from Decatur City, Iowa, "The cause in this city is progressing. There is a general call for preachers. Could not Bro. E. W. Shortridge, or some other brother come this way? Any brother can find a welcome home at my house, or with any of us in Decatur City. Truly the harvest is great but the laborers are few. Let us send our petitions up to God that he will prepare more messengers and send them into the great harvest field."
