By W. H. Wild

From Bro. Wild.

BRO. WHITE : I am all alone here contending for the faith once delivered to the saints. I know that through faith in the third angel's message, and obedience to it, I shall have right to the tree of life and enter in through the gates into the city. Oh, may the Lord save us from being carried away by the perils that surround us. I am told, while trying to show the people the light that illuminates our pathway, that it is immaterial whether we believe the dead are unconscious or not, or whether Christ comes inside of fifty or one hundred years, if we are only prepared; but dear brethren and sisters, we have found out that without faith it is impossible to please God, and that a belief in the present truth is what will prepare us for that great day. There are no "ifs" in our way about the Lord's soon coming. We know that he is soon to appear. Oh then let us beware of being influenced by the unbelief of those who consider it non-essential whether they believe God or the Devil. May the Lord help us who have put on Christ, to escape the snares of these last days, to be kind, humble, meek, and with all lowliness of mind, to esteem each

other better than ourselves; and may the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory after that we have suffered awhile, make us perfect, establish, strengthen and settle us.

I wish some one of the messengers could come this way, the school-house would be filled. Bro. Rodman, cannot you come if the way is clear? Come over into Macedonia and help me. Here is a new field. My P. O. address is Pleasantville, N. Y.
