Extracts from Letters.

Bro. and Sr. Robbins write from Catlin, N. Y., Nov. 26: "We feel that we can say but little, yet can say in truth that we love Jesus and his children, and love to read the letters from them in the Review. Brethren and sisters, let us be up and doing. Let it not be said of us that we wish to be excused. Our talent should not be buried, nor laid up in a napkin, but improved, that the Lord may receive his own with usury when he comes.
"The little church here in Catlin are striving through many trials and much darkness to press onward toward eternal life. Brn. Fuller and Baker were here and held a conference with us this fall. They preached in a new place where the truth had not been proclaimed before, but there was but little interest manifested. One or two confessed the truth, but they make no effort to obey. We feel thankful that the Lord gave us hearts to obey the truth. Often we feel to say with the poet, > Why were we made to hear thy voice > And enter while there's room, > While thousands make a wretched choice, > And rather starve than come?""
