By L. M. BREWSTER

From Sister Brewster.

BRO. SMITH: I take this opportunity to inform the brethren of my determination to obey God by keeping his commandments and the testimony of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It has been two years since we came out on the third angel's message, under the preaching of Brn. Loughborough and Butler. There were then some ten or twelve who professed to keep the seventh day. But six or seven is quite a number to get out to our meetings now; but we have had prayer-meetings nearly every Sabbath. We would be glad to have some of the brethren come this way to instruct us more fully in the truths of the Bible. Could not Bro. Waggoner or Butler come here? We wish to hear the word of God preached. Our prayer is, “Lord, send whom thou wilt.” I feel the necessity of having on the whole armor, in order to resist the temptations and escape the snares of the adversary. May the Lord help us to cleanse ourselves by obeying the truth.

My husband has used tobacco forty years, but thinks best to serve God by denying himself the use of the filthy weed. It has been a hard struggle, but he has conquered, the Lord assisting him. May we all of us lay aside everything that is offensive in his sight. We want to be redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, and have a right to the tree of life, and enter through the gates into the city.
