Extracts from Letters.

Bro. L. Martin writes from Bennington, N. H. : I would say that the blessed hope continues to cheer me on in my lonely pilgrimage. I am very glad that I have been permitted to hear the first, second, and third angels' messages. I still read the Review and Herald with delight. I thank the Lord that he is still mindful of us here in the East. I rejoice that some of the Lord's servants have come to the East, and I hope and trust that a good and glorious work will be accomplished. I had the pleasure of hearing four discourses from Elds. Loughborough and Hull at Manchester. We are living in a solemn time, truly. I desire to realize it more than I do. What is done for the salvation of our fellow-men must be done quickly. May the Lord bless you and your labors abundantly, and preserve you blameless unto his coming, is my prayer.

Sister M. M. Osgood writes from Bronte, C. W. : We are still striving to walk in the narrow way, and a part of the time I feel an assurance that the Lord guides and strengthens. His presence is dear, his word is precious, and his approval the one great desire of my heart. We are numbered as yet among the lonely ones, but trust it will not ever be so.
