Returning to the Little Flock
By Wm. Hill
BRO. SMITH: I have been away from home all winter among those who obey not the truth, and have lately returned to my family and the little flock who are striving to keep the commandments of God. I found them still striving to run in the heavenly way, cherishing kindness and brotherly love toward each other. It was a good thing for me to meet with my brethren once more, and feel my heart encouraged to endure, even unto the end. I would say to the dear brethren and sisters, that I love the cause of present truth, and that I want to feel its sanctifying influence upon my heart. How good the Lord is to take special means to make known unto us his precious truth in these last days of peril, to preserve his people from the strong delusions that are in the world. Let us show him that we appreciate his love by laying it up in our hearts and living it out in our lives, so that when the great day of the Lord shall come, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, we may be among his chosen ones that shall be saved. Yours in hope of everlasting life. Faribault Co., Minn., April 7, 1868.
