Letters.

"Them 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. Frisbie.

Bro. White: I was called on to give two discourses on the death of two soldiers, about three weeks ago, in the town of Leslie. I also attended a funeral in the village of Leslie on the death of Bro. Hulet's oldest daughter, about thirteen years old, whose mother died last summer, and whose father was drafted and has gone to the war. The only mourner of the family left there, was a little sister about eleven years old. It was an affecting scene.

I have been lecturing at Scovell's Corners. It was just before the Presidential election, so the excitement ran mostly in that direction. It was also dark and rainy most of the time, which made the interest rather small.

At the Crary school-house, since election, the interest has been better, but quite an amount of prejudice to meet. On the whole, the meetings were profitable, and some prejudice removed. We stayed as long as we could. Before we left, we called for an expression to hear further, a goodly number voted to hear more. But the calls are in different directions to hear, so that we have been hardly able to decide which way to go first. We conclude to go to Salem, Washtenaw Co., next.
