Christ’s Coming Is Near

From Bro. Kinsey.

DEAR BRN. AND SISTERS: I have often felt like casting in my mite with the many testimonies that have been given in favor of truth through the Review. Although one of the unworthy ones in the Lord's service, I rejoice that the way of salvation is so free. I am glad that my feet have been directed in the pathway of truth and righteousness while in the days of my youth. Oh, can I be thankful enough to God for the glorious light that I behold in his word; that which brought me from the ways of sin and wickedness and started me in the way that leads to immortality! Through the mercy of God, and by his assisting grace, I am striving to overcome and be ready to be counted a jewel in the great day when Jesus comes with all his holy angels. When I think of the great prize that lies at the end of the journey, my heart seems to cry out, I must possess it! It must be mine! Yes, I feel that when the earth is robed in Eden's glory, I must be there. I long to see the faces of God's remnant people in that better country.
Brethren and sisters, let us awake. It is high time that we arouse from our slumbers. Let us watch and be sober. Christ's coming is even at the door; the time of the saints' redemption is very near. Eternity's morning will soon dawn, and then if we are faithful Jesus will take us to the beautiful mansions of endless rest.
Yours, striving for victory. S. H. KINSEY. Tonawanda, Erie Co., N. Y.
