Extracts from Letters.

Sr. S. R. Brown writes from Clayton. Although not acquainted with many of the readers of the Review in the flesh, yet finding while reading the heart-cheering letters that we are one in spirit and faith and hope, I feel it a privilege to cast in my mite on the side of the truth we so much love. I have taken the Review nearly two months, and I think it the best paper I ever read. I want to have the whole armor on, and prove faithful unto the end, that when Jesus shall come I can be one among the saints to stand on mount Zion and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.

Bro. C. Copeland writes from Rochester Mich. We are to be a tried people. If we had no temptations we should have no victories to win. I can truly say that I still feel to rejoice that I have enlisted in this glorious cause. I rejoice in the Advent faith, and my prayer to the Lord is, that he will help me to live it out. I am willing to share in the afflictions of the remnant, people of God, and I hope to be a partaker of their joys and consolations, both here while on our pilgrimage journey, and when Jesus shall come to take his ransomed ones home.
