Letters.

"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."

This department of the paper is designed for the brethren and sisters to freely and fully communicate with each other respecting their hopes and determinations, conflicts and victories, attainments and desires, in the heavenly journey. Seek first a living experience and then record it, carefully and prayerfully, for the comfort and encouragement of the other members of the household of faith.

From Bro. Tomlinson.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I am very much encouraged by the weekly visits of the Review, which is laden with precious food for the hungry soul. I am poor in this world's goods, but feel rich in prospect of an inheritance in the earth made new; and I am willing to spare a few crumbs of what I have, to give to those that may be reached by our excellent paper, and the help of God. My dear brethren, we all have friends that are strangers to present truth and outside the ark. Let us all awake and do something to awake an interest in a better land than this. I am bound for that country and I want all my friends to go that will. It would grieve me much if I had a familiar friend that knew of a glorious country and was going

to it soon, if he did not tell me what he knew about it. Dear brethren, let us clear our skirts by helping forward the last message of mercy. I feel glad to know that the third message is on the rise and will soon swell into a loud cry. The latter rain is soon to come which will ripen the precious fruit for the heavenly garner. We hope to be remembered in your prayers that we may meet together on the banks of deliverance. SAMUEL TOMLINSON. Richmond, Iowa.
