Sabbath Keepers in Coldwater
By L. Schellhous
Bro. White: I feel to praise God for the blessed truth of his holy word, and can say that my heart is still in union with the remnant people who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I praise the Lord for his long-suffering and loving-kindness toward me in sparing my unprofitable life till the present time; and I can say that I rejoice in hope of the soon-coming of our blessed Saviour. I have been obliged to break up keeping house on account of my wife's losing her eye-sight, am now living with our son in this city, Coldwater, where we find quite a number of Sabbath-keepers of like precious faith. I think there are eleven in number with us, who meet every Sabbath for prayer and social worship. We hope that some of the messengers can find it in their way to come to this place some time this season, and give us some lectures. We believe that there might be good done in this place. We still retain our membership with the church in Colon, and meet with them as often as convenient. I would say to the dear brethren scattered abroad, that we are still striving to overcome every besetment, and to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and be ready, having our lamps trimmed and burning, to enter through the gates into the city when Jesus comes. Blessed hope! It "Cheers the heart when joys depart
And foes are pressing strong." Yours striving for victory.
