ALMON BISBEE

From Bro. Bisbee.

[THE following letter Bro. Frisbie sends to the Office.]
BRO. FRISBIE: I have been thinking some time of writing a line to you to inform you of my feelings, &c. It is now two years since I embraced the third angel's message, as I heard it from you, and Bro. Strong. I feel to thank God always that I ever heard his word preached, though I have often heard preaching, but never the truth before,—that the last message of mercy has been sounded in my ears, and that I have ever been called from darkness into light. May God help me that I may improve these blessings. I cannot find words to express my feelings on the subject.
My heart overflows, and my eyes are filled with tears to think that I have trampled God's law underfoot so long. Truly he is a merciful and loving God. My prayer to him is, that I may be counted worthy to be one of his children, and to be ready to meet my blessed Saviour when he comes.
I find it no pleasant thing to live so far from the brethren of like precious faith. We, myself and wife, are alone in this part now. Sister Tolhurst has been living in the city, but has now gone into the country. But our trust is in God, and if God be for us who can be against us.
I long to be with the brethren where we can have sweet seasons of worship on the Sabbath. But we spend the day in prayer and reading the word of God and the Review. There is a school-house in my neighborhood where meetings are sometimes held on Sunday. Perhaps I can get the use of it next fall to hold meetings in for a season, provided some messenger would come here. Could you or Bro. Strong, or both, come here for a few weeks, I think we could get some hearers. Please inform me on the subject. I live six miles from the city of Cleveland, in the town of East Cleveland. If you could make arrangements to come about the first of September, I will see what I can do for a house.
Yours hoping for eternal life.
