A Testimony of Faith and Readiness

From Bro. Hoag.

BRO. WHITE: Many a time have I thought that I would like to communicate a few lines to those of like faith. I am thankful to-day, brethren and sisters, for the truth of the third angel's message. It is high time that we wake and gird on the armor. Signs portend that Jesus is coming, and who would not like to see the King in his beauty, and go to those mansions prepared for all the good and blest?
I have a desire to be among the ransomed ones, and be clothed with glory, honor, and immortality, at His appearing. I hope we shall be faithful in exhorting one another, and so much the more as we see the day approaching. We are living in a solemn time, when darkness is gathering fast. I hope we shall be lights in the world and waymarks along the way, having our loins girt about with truth, and we waiting for our Lord when he shall return from the wedding. When Jesus comes will he find faith on the earth? Yes, a little; there will be a few keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. May this be our happy lot, is my prayer.
Russell Hoag.
