Extracts from Letters.

Sister S. A. Snyder writes from Dallas, Pa. : "I love the Review for the precepts and the truths it contains. It has been like a sweet messenger to me in opening my mind to the truths of the Bible. It is so cheering to hear from brethren and sisters scattered abroad over the land whom we have never seen. I feel that we are made nigh by the blood of Christ. I have never heard a sermon on the Sabbath, and don't know that I ever shall. I am the only one in this entire vicinity that keeps it, yet I hail it with delight, and I regard it, as the prophet says, a delight and honorable. My trust is in him who hath said, I will not suffer thee to be tempted above what you are able to bear, but will in the midst of temptation make a way for escape. If any of the messengers should come this way, don't forget us, for we would appreciate it highly to see the face of one before the coming of the Son of man. I think it cannot be long before the earth will be fully ripe and ready for harvest. May I be prepared and rest with you all in that kingdom which God has prepared for them that love him."
