Extracts from Letters.

Bro. C. B. Gordon writes from Coles Co., Ills. : Three families of us here keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. We look like a lonely band, but Jesus Christ being our leader, we do not feel lonely. We feel, and are sure that truth will prevail over error. Some are threatening us with the law for working on Sunday. One Baptist preacher says we shall be up before the grand jury this spring. But we do not intend to be frightened from duty. We meet on the Sabbath and hold prayer and social meeting. By the assisting grace of God, we hope to gain a complete victory over the world. I think there are more who will fall into our company by and by. We need more preaching.

Bro. M. W. Neal writes from Osceola, Iowa : It is now nearly five years since we were baptized, and received the third angel's message; and we can truly say that we are not yet tired of trying to walk in the strait and narrow way, but we are truly thankful that the Lord ever inclined our hearts to the observance of the commandments of God and faith of Jesus, and we hope by the assisting grace of God to live so as to be prepared for the soon and glorious appearing of our dear Saviour.
