A Call for Sabbath Messengers
By Wm. Cottrell
Bro. White: A few months have past since I received and embraced the third angel's message, and that, too, without hearing any one proclaim those great and glorious truths. Well, I wish to say that we, (my wife and I) love the truth, and are endeavoring to live it out. We are anxious to do our whole duty, and overcome every evil, and be prepared for the coming of the Lord; believing as we do, that it is near, even at the door. We praise the Lord that we have ever been made acquainted with present truth. We pray that the Lord will direct some one of the messengers this way. Cannot some one of the brethren call on us, and give us a few discourses this present season? We ourselves have need to be taught more perfectly. We have never seen a Sabbath-keeper besides ourselves, but expect to see them in the New Earth. Yet we should like to see some of them here before the Lord comes. The last message of mercy has never been proclaimed in this part of the state I have however taught to some extent the few truths that I have learned. There are some here that are well nigh persuaded to obey the call. If some one of the brethren would come and make us the desired visit. I have full confidence that good would result from the same.
