Extracts from Letters.

Bro. C. G. Satterlee writes from Princeville, Ills.:

We were disappointed in not having a messenger at our last quarterly meeting, but were made to rejoice in having the presence of Jesus. His sweet Spirit seemed to pervade the meeting from its commencement to its close. The brethren and sisters had a mind to work and the Lord was ready to bless. My sister was baptized at this meeting and arose to walk in newness of life. Our prayer is that she may live an humble, consistent Christian life that when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, she may receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

The interest of our Bible-class and Sabbath-school seems to be increasing, and quite a number of children, whose parents observe the first day, attend.

Sister C. Bryant writes from Milwaukee, Wis.:

I am trying to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and hoping for his second coming. I was in the Advent movement in 1843; came West in 1850; lost sight of all the Advent people until about four years ago, when I heard upon the Sabbath question. I was glad to hear from the truth through one who was trying to give meat in due season. I began to keep the Sabbath and have tried to be faithful.
