Extracts from Letters.

Bro. Wm. S. Lane writes from Beaver Dam, N. Y.: I bless the Lord for his long suffering and tender mercy toward me, in bringing me to see and realize the present truth. I rejoice in hope of the glory that shall soon be revealed at the coming of the Son of man. I almost shrink when I view the trials that await God's people; but his grace will be sufficient.

Bro. C. O. Rathbun writes from Lapeer, Mich. : Dear brethren and sisters, how good the Lord is in these last days to show us the right way in which to walk, in order that we may inherit eternal life. He has promised to be with us through all our troubles, trials and temptations, and deliver us out of them all, and carry us safely through to the haven of rest, if we will put our trust in him. We are to take heed to our ways, hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised. Again he saith, Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward; for ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God ye might receive the promise; for yet a little while and he that shall come will come and will not tarry.
