Extracts from Letters.

Bro. Charles S. Davis writes from Eddington, Me.: We have seen considerable of the fanatical spirit here, but by the grace of God we have overcome it. I was at Hartland and heard Bro. Loughborough, and was glad to hear from the word of the Lord, it being the first preaching that ever I heard on the present truth. It was there I obtained the first and second volume of Spiritual Gifts, a work that should be in every family.
I am striving every day to be made more and more an overcomer that I may stand with the faithful ones on mount Zion.
Sister C. M. Shepard writes from Trenton, Wis.: I feel that we have everything to encourage us to press on in the narrow way. Oh, how bright the light of truth is shining on our pathway. I believe that the loud cry of the third message will soon be heard through the length and breadth of the land, and all the honest and faithful will be gathered in to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. But the question comes home to my heart, shall I be among the faithful ones? I know there must be a great improvement in my heart and life before I can be prepared to stand before God. We read that as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Bro. I. D. Van Horn writes from Jackson, Mich., April 12: I have been having a few meetings of late in my own neighborhood, and the interest to hear is far greater than I expected. Thursday I start for Charlotte, to attend the meeting at West Windsor with Bro. Byington. I yet hope in the Lord, and love the truth.
Bro. P. Chaffee writes from Roosevelt, N. Y.: I will say a word of encouragement for the Roosevelt church. I believe the Lord is helping the church, and the church are trying to help themselves. Yesterday one expressed a desire to return. The prospects are good. Brn. Andrews and Taylor have benefited the church materially, and I hope much more good may be done in the name of the Lord. Remember us.
