By B. G. JONES

From Bro. Jones.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It has been some years since I gave my testimony for Jesus and his soon-coming, through the Review. I have felt as many others have expressed, that I could not write so as to interest any one. I seldom have the privilege of meeting with those that keep the commandments of God; but I am still striving to overcome the world, that I may with the meek inherit the earth. I am thankful that the Lord is so kind to us as to let us have his good angels to protect us from the influence of evil angels, so that they may not overcome us with evil, and we lose our inheritance on the new earth. I want to so live every day that I shall be ready for the latter rain, so that at last I shall receive the “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
We see daily that we are in the land of the enemy; that he will afflict us in every way that he can, even to taking the lives of those we love. I want on the whole armor, so that I may finally overcome and have a part in the first resurrection, for on such the second death hath no power. I want to keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus, so that I can stand the trials of the way, that I may be of those who seek for eternal life when Christ comes.
