LETTERS.

"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."

From Sister Paine.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It rejoices my heart to read the letters in the Review from different parts of the great harvest-field, and to hear of the progress of the precious cause of present truth. The Lord has also been at work in this place. We have felt very lonely here, only four of us that loved the glorious truths of the third angel's message, being deprived of meeting from Sabbath to Sabbath with those of like precious faith. But the Lord has given us two more precious souls to travel with us the heavenly road. O, may the Lord enable us to overcome and get the perfect and entire victory over every sinful passion, habit, word, and action, and have our appetites all brought into subjection to the will of God. Bro. and sister Dewing, formerly of the United Brethren church, have commenced keeping the holy Sabbath that has been trodden under foot by the Man of Sin, and are searching to learn all the revealed will of God. We meet four times in a week to search the Scriptures and ask for the aid and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and we are indeed blessed of the Lord in so doing. I feel a strong and increasing determination to serve the Lord, and continue to seek for entire consecration to his holy will. I think I never before had so deep a realizing sense of the great work God's children must have done for them before they can be of that glorious church that Christ will take to himself, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. We are very anxious to have Bro. Cornell come and preach in this vicinity. We have had no preaching here in two years. I think there are some in Lockport that would embrace the truth if they could hear it clearly presented. May the Lord speed on the third angel's message, and gather out all the jewels that they may be purified through obedience to the truth, and get ready for the appearing of Jesus.
Yours in hope of redemption.
E. J. PAINE.
