Extracts from Letters.

Bro. C. Woodman writes from North Leeds, Me.: "I sincerely hope and pray that God will be with you and bless you in your responsible labors for the good of the church, and the salvation of souls. And especially that you may be successful, under God, in promoting order in the church. It is evident that there is a right and scriptural organization which ought to be effected in the church, and which Satan will labor to prevent by increasing the prejudice which already exists in the church against it, and thus prevent the work which God designs to do for his people. We know it is the work of Satan to disorganize, distract and confuse the church of God; and we know it is God's work, especially in these last days, to thoroughly discipline his people, as an army for battle; and this cannot be done without perfect order in the ranks."
