Extracts from Letters.

Bro. D. D. Haines writes from Haverhill, Mass. : I would say that I am not weary in this good cause. The truth shines brighter, and my love for it increases. I am trying to live out the truth and Christ is more precious to me now. I am striving to keep all God's commandments, and delight in the Law of God. I love the precious truth of the third angel's message, although I find it very humbling. It was just what I needed to see my duty, and to be purified through obeying the truth, and doing the will of God.

Bro. E. E. Jones writes from Linden, Mich. : The day appointed for fasting and prayer by the people of God, was a day long to be remembered by the little branch of his church at Tyrone. The children seemed greatly interested. Four of them resolved to go with their parents to the kingdom. We felt that the Spirit of the Lord was in our midst, for which we did greatly rejoice.

Pray for us that we may be faithful and exert a holy influence around. We would like to see Bro. Bates again. We felt that his visit was timely. Some were strengthened by his example of living faith. All were encouraged to press forward to obtain the prize that lies at the end of the Christian race.
