From Sister Doud.

BRO. WHITE: I have been waiting for some time to see a word from Vassar in the Review, but as no such word has as yet appeared, I thought I would write, that the brethren and sisters of the faith might know that there is a company of Sabbath-keepers in Vassar.

We number about thirty, and trust we are growing in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. This church is the fruit of the labors of Brn. Van Horn and Canright. We refer to the Mich. Tent with glad hearts, and thank God for the light of the truth he sent us through his messengers; and that he gave us willing hearts to receive the truth and he saved. Our way grows brighter each day, and our Bibles more precious. We search the Scriptures, and of a truth find therein the words of life, and that they do testify of Jesus. We shall hail with delight the return of these brethren, as if has been some eight weeks since we have heard the word preached. We hold our meetings of prayer and praise every Sabbath morning, and Bible-class in the afternoon. They are precious seasons to us all. We are happy to hear from our brethren and sisters through the land, and the words of good cheer that come to us through the Review. We feel grateful to our Father for all the blessings he so lavishly bestows upon us.

Pray for us that we may fight the good fight of faith, obtain the victory, and be saved with the remnant who have kept the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. In hope.
