Letters.

“Then 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 Sister Moon.

Bro. White: I desire to express my thanks to the people of God for the many words of encouragement and advice that they give through your excellent paper, the Review. Myself and husband are alone in this place in the Advent faith. At times when I have allowed myself to reflect upon our lonely situation, and the many trials that we encounter, I have felt a little cast down; but on the Review’s coming to hand, I would be sure to find a “word fitly spoken” in it, and then all gloom would depart, and I would return thanks to the Lord for the precious words with which he causeth his children to comfort one another.
We have been keeping the seventh day for nearly three years, and I am truly thankful that we were led to examine this subject, for thereby we were not only led to obey the command of God, but to find out many other truths that we otherwise could not have received. We have no preaching here (according to our faith,) except what we get from your publications, but they are powerful and convincing. Oh, what a blessing they are to us lonely scattered ones. I crave an interest in your prayers, that we may be able to counteract the evil influence that is cast around our children, so that they also may be brought through to the kingdom. Pray for me that I may overcome.
Yours seeking for immortality. MARY F. MOON. San Lorenzo, Cal., Oct. 2, 1865.
