H. NICOLA

By H. Nicola

From Bro. Nicola.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I would say that the General Conference that I have just had the privilege of attending has been of great benefit to me. Bro. White's morning lectures, to say nothing of the many other good things that were said, were very interesting and profitable. As he portrayed to our minds the manner in which the third angel's message began, and the simplicity which characterized the work then, and contrasted it with our present condition, I could but think we have departed far from the Lord. But when I see a disposition on the part of those standing foremost in the work and bearing great responsibilities to correct past mistakes, and to seek for the old paths, it encourages my heart, and I am led to ask myself, Shall I have any part in this great work? Shall I be willing to endure the suffering part in the work, as a good soldier? Oh! I feel more like giving myself more fully to the Lord than ever I have done hitherto, and like consecrating all to him. May God's blessing rest upon those that bear the chief responsibility in this work, and may he give them heavenly wisdom that they may move fully in his counsel, and may he help all his dear people to come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty, is my prayer.
