Extract from a Letter to Bro. Matteson.
By SWEND MAGNUSSEN
We have read the Danish books on present truth, and are convinced, after prayerful consideration and comparison with the Bible, that it is our duty to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and prepare for the coming of the Saviour, that we may obtain immortality when he shall appear. We are about in the same condition as ancient Israel when they found the book of the law after it had been lost for some time. We are thankful to God that he has in mercy opened our eyes while probation still lingers. Three of us have been members in the Baptist church. They say we need not leave them if we will say nothing about those peculiar doctrines, but we must speak what we believe; therefore we have left them. The truth is precious. May the Lord help us to obey, and find salvation with his remnant people. SWEND MAGNUSSEN.
