JOSIAH HEBNER

By Josiah Hebner

From Bro. Hebner.

BRO. WHITE: My heart swells with love and gratitude to God for his goodness to me. I still love the truth of the third angel's message. My prayer is that it may spread through the breadth of the land until the last saint is brought in and sealed with the seal of God. My desire is that God may keep me in the love of the truth, that I may be a perfect overcomer. This truth for over twenty years has been my stronghold in time of trouble. Oh, how precious it is. When all things else disappoint us, the truth is a strong tower into which the righteous run and are safe.

I have not seen one of God's dear messengers since one year last June, when in Memphis, where I saw Bro. Andrews, and we enjoyed sweet communion together. My heart is full, reflecting on past seasons. May God bless those dear people, is my prayer. A little over two weeks ago in Lapeer I saw some dear brethren. It brought sweet consolation to my heart to think that God has a people in all parts of the land preparing for translation at the appearing of his Son.

Dear brethren and sisters, remember me, a lonely pilgrim, when it is well with you, that I may be a perfect overcomer through the blood of Jesus. The Review is all the preaching we hear, and we hail its timely visits from week to week. May the Lord bless it, and the Publishing Association, is the prayer of your unworthy brother waiting the coming of Christ.
