Truth Spread by the Review.

We take the liberty to publish the following extract from a letter from sister C. M. Tenney of Dell Prairie, Wis.: “ I am a member of the regular Baptist church where I live, and have never been personally acquainted with any Seventh-day Adventist, and have never heard an Advent sermon. But my mind has been called up to the peculiar doctrines held by that people, by reading the Review and Herald, which a friend has kindly lent me. My convictions of duty were deep, and my distress of mind some days almost insupportable, until I was willing to throw away prejudice and pre-conceived opinions, and aoknowledge that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord. This I have been enabled to do, both in public, and private conversation. And here I stand alone. My husband and children, some of them professors of religion, do not yet sympathize with my Sabbath views. How I long for one or two of like faith. It seems that then I could meet opposition. My daily prayer is that God will open the way for me. I would make a request that some one in going to, or coming from, Mauston would visit this place. But I see a great many such requests in the Review, therefore can hardly expect mine to be granted. This place is four miles from Killburn City, nearly north. I have no doubt a good congregation would come out Sundays or evenings. What the result would be, of course we cannot tell. I heartily subscribe to nearly all I read in the Review, as far as I understand it. I should prize a visit from some Advent friend very much, and hope the time may not be distant when I shall have the privilege of listening to the truth.
