Extracts from Letters.

SISTER Sabrina R. Nichols writes from Worcester, Vt. : How thankful we as a people have reason to be for the light we receive from “Testimonies for the Church,” to guide us through the perils of these last days. I have ever had perfect confidence in Sister White’s visions and can but regard each additional reproof a fresh token of our heavenly Father’s love and care for his weak and erring children. I feel refreshed and strengthened as I peruse the interesting and instructive columns of the Review, so highly prized by all lovers of present truth, and doubly dear to the lone ones who seldom, if ever, listen to the thrilling and all-important truths it advocates as they fall from the lips of the messengers. It rejoices my heart to learn that the children and youth are yielding to the strivings of God’s Holy Spirit. O may the work spread throughout the ranks of the remnant until all the dear children shall be gathered into the fold of Christ.

I still love the straight and narrow way, and though I realize my own insufficiency and sometimes tremble through fear of being overcome, yet by the assisting grace of God, I am determined to strive to the end for a crown of righteousness which is laid up for all those who love the appearing of Jesus.

BRO. P. Martin writes from, Dane, Dane Co., Wis. : After a diligent search of the scriptures for the last twenty years, I greatly rejoice in the light now shining from God’s holy word through the Review and Herald. I would be glad if some brother could give a few lectures to the people here. As I have heard the first and second angels’ messages, and particularly the third, I am strong in the faith that the Lord will soon appear.

Bro. P. Erb writes from Enterprise, Minn. : The Review is the only sound preaching I get here. I feel grateful to God for his pardoning love, and am striving to live so that the Spirit of the Lord may be ever with me, and guide me into all truth, by whose help I may be able to overcome, and meet with the redeemed of the Lord in his kingdom.
