Extracts from Letters.

Sister M. M. Osgood writes from Olcott, N. Y.: I have reason to believe that our great enemy is not asleep, nor on a journey, but present and vigilant as ever. Our Helper has broken the strong fetters the foe had thrown over me, and now he tries invisible silken threads. Yet I am not discouraged; for by the aid of the Spirit and the word, I am enabled to discover them, and through faith they are severed before permanently fastened. I am convinced more and more, that the time has come when God's people must seek earnestly for holiness of heart. I know that we may so trust in God, that the wicked one shall not have power to cause us to sin. He will, if we constantly seek his aid, make a way of escape from any temptation. That we may all be sanctified wholly, and preserved blameless till Jesus comes, is my prayer.
