EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS.

R. A. BARNARD writes from Chesterville, Pa., as follows:—

I set me down to subscribe once more for the dear old paper that has ever been a joy and comfort to my soul. It has been a welcome visitor to my quiet little home, bringing light and precious truth. It illuminates the pathway of the weary pilgrim that is looking for the blessed hope of the coming of the Saviour.

I have been circulating it. Some like it very well, while others are ashamed to take it from the office. I hope the Lord will forgive them, for they know not what they do.

IN A LETTER from Virginia, a brother says that his mind has recently been called to the question of God’s law by reading papers and tracts from this Office. He says, “I never knew that the Bible was so plain on this subject, though I have been an Advent minister for nearly eight years. I can say, at least, that the reasons for keeping the seventh day of the week instead of the first are such as one might expect to find upon any Bible subject—even the word itself.”

“My mind was directed to this some three weeks since by reading a tract obtained from M. C. Israel of Oregon, through H. A. Baxter, with whom we are living.” “We are heartily interested in these things, for they pertain to godliness; and for my part I intend by the grace of our heavenly Father to strive for the truth.”

“We are the only Second Adventists in this country, though some are beginning to get their eyes open; but that masterpiece of Satan’s arts, popularity, keeps them in bonds. Bro. Baxter will, I think, go to laboring for the cause of truth.”

The writer expects to go to another place in the spring, and is desirous of spreading the news of this present truth.

The meeting appointed in Danielsonville, Ct., to be held at J. S. Miller’s, Jan. 6, is postponed to Jan. 20, when we hope to meet all the friends of present truth in the county of Windham, and after the Sabbath arrange S. B. for 1877. P. O. Rodman.

Postponement.

The meeting appointed for Princeville, Ill., to be held Dec. 30 and 31 is postponed till Jan. 20 and 21, 1877, in order to secure the aid of Eld. G. W. Colcord. We wish those interested who cannot attend the meeting to write, and state wishes about selling the church property and what shall be done with the proceeds. All that can, are earnestly invited to come to this meeting. B. F. Merritt.

Vt. T. and M. Meetings.

The next Tract and Missionary quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 6, will be held at Warren, in the school-house south of the village, Jan. 6 and 7, 1877.

The following Sabbath and first-day, the quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 4 will be held at Jericho, near West Bolton.

We ask for full reports to the secretaries in good time, and that donations to the Society may not be forgotten. We hope for a general turnout at these meetings; and as Bro. Harrison Grant, of Minnesota, is in Vermont, we shall expect to be favored with his presence and labors at the Warren meeting. A. S. Hutchins, Pres.

The Youth’s Instructor,

An eight-page pictorial monthly, devoted to the moral and religious culture of the youth, published at Battle Creek, Mich., should find a place in every Christian home.

Thank God, there is one Youth’s paper in the land not devoted to insipid stories, and religious fiction! The INSTRUCTOR is ably edited by Mrs M. J. Chapman, an experienced educator, who has succeeded in securing able, matter-of-fact writers. This gives a great variety of that kind of reading which is favorable to the healthy development of the youthful mind.

Family Health Almanac.

THE energy with which the Family Health Almanac is being circulated by the T. & M. Societies speaks well for the interest of the members in this philanthropic work. At the last meeting of the General Conference, the number of Almanacs to be circulated by each State was apportioned as shown in the first of the following columns. The second column shows the number ordered. Some have ordered more than their proportion; but this is not the case with the majority.

WHEN you order goods from this office, will you please be sure to give your address in plain letters? The reading of some papers received here is much like the deciphering of ancient hieroglyphics among Egyptian ruins.

Now to prevent loss in sending books, papers, and other things, please write plainly, and give town, county, and State, in your address. We are particularly anxious to know the county.

General Meeting at Roosevelt.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

We appoint a general meeting at Roosevelt, N. Y., for the churches of Roosevelt, Vermillion, Oswego, and West Monroe. The weather and roads may be bad, but we urge a full attendance of all from these churches. The very ones who need the benefit of this meeting are the ones who will be the least inclined to come. The leader of each church is requested to visit every Sabbath-keeper, and see that every effort is made to get them to this meeting. Bring the children, the backsliders, and the interested ones. Come Friday. Let provisions be made at Roosevelt to accommodate all. Advertise the meetings widely, and wake up the community to attend. Pray God to help us.
