Note from Bro. Sanborn.
By I. Sanborn
Pursuant to appointment, I met with the little flock in Brodtville, Grant Co., Wis., and held six meetings with them. I found them faithful in keeping up their Sabbath meetings, and striving for the victory. Some of their neighbors trembled before the cross, as we talked to them of the importance of keeping all the commandments of God, and getting ready to meet their coming Saviour. They acknowledged that they believed it was the only truth that now offered salvation to dying mortals. Oh, why not then speedily obey! I also preached six times in Tafton. Here also I found the little company striving for the victory over sin and its effects. On the Sabbath, three were baptized. The Lord gave us good liberty in speaking his word, which seemed to deeply interest the hearers. Quite a number here are convinced that if they are ever saved in God’s kingdom, they must obey his commands. Why then should they delay to do this so-well known duty! May they be influenced by the same spirit that Joshua had when he said, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Oh how noble such a decision! and how pleasing in the sight of God! May they all remember the words of the Lord Jesus as recorded in John xii, 35, “Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.” What an awful condition to be in the dark, and not know where we are going! May all walk in the light is my prayer.
