A Letter from Minnesota
By S. E. Gibson
SR. S. E. GIBSON writes from Minn.: I see in our REVIEW of Jan. 19, that the duty of writing to the letter department is enjoined upon the believers in present truth. I have often thought I would tell the readers of our paper my hopes and fears and determinations, for I have often been greatly cheered and strengthened by reading their epistles. I thank God to-day that he did incline my heart to obey him, and turn from keeping the traditions of men to the commandments of God. I determined to walk out in the light as far as it shone upon my pathway, and I feel that God has blessed me in so doing. It is my determination, God being my helper, to so live that I may be numbered among his remnant people. We read that if we acknowledge God in all our ways he will direct our paths; and also that with every temptation he will make a way of escape. What precious promises! Why may we not claim them as ours? “Not every one that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of our Father which is in Heaven.” Shall I be left out? Will any that are trying to keep God’s commandments, and the faith of Jesus? God help us to be right in his sight! How plainly that passage shows that we must watch as well as pray; that we have duties to do to God, to each other, and to ourselves. May the Lord strengthen us each to do our every duty in his love and fear.
