Extracts from Letters.

Sister S. Brown writes from Bergen, Wis: I am striving to overcome. I have been a believer in the Advent doctrine a little over a year, and with God's grace to help, I mean to prove faithful to the end. I want to so live that I may have a right at last to the tree of life, and to enter in through the gates into the city. I want to meet all the good in that beautiful land where there will be no more pain nor sorrow.

Bro. W. Carthy writes from Little Prairie, Wis: I think I appreciate the worth of our paper, as it comes weekly, laden with a rich store of spiritual food for the hungry pilgrim. And although it is not possible for us to fully realize the anxiety and care which has fallen on those who have labored amid the dark and discouraging scenes connected with the advancement of truth (especially in the first of the message) to sustain the Sabbath Herald, yet God knows and will give the reward due to such undaunted perseverance.

Sister L. E. Davis writes from Westerville, Iowa: I know not how to be thankful enough for the light of the third angel's message, and for a heart that was willing to receive it. It was a hard thing at first for me to lay aside my outward adorning, and give up the first-day for the seventh-day of the week; but I can now say that the law of the Lord is my delight. I want my adorning to be a meek and quiet spirit. I delight in trying to keep all the commandments. I am alone and hear no preaching but the Review, and have seen but one Sabbath-keeper in the past six months.

Bro. W. B. Pringle writes from Fairport, N. Y.: I think I can say that I love the truth the Review proclaims, I have long been a believer in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but not in the third angel's message. Now I begin to see as through a glass darkly that these things are so. I have a great desire to serve the Lord and be ready for my King when he shall appear, to take vengeance on them that know not God and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I desire your prayers that I may overcome and be found with those that have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Yours in hope of eternal life.

Sister E. A. Sevy writes from Greenbush, Mich. : I am still trying to overcome, that I may be ready to meet the Lord at his appearing. It rejoices my heart to see and hear of the union that is beginning to reign among Sabbath-keepers. It seems as though they were preparing for the scenes that are before us. We have been greatly blessed here in this place by the visit of Bro. Byington and wife. I never shall forget their visit. May the Lord bless them.
