JOSEPH H. MALLORY

By Joseph H. Mallory

From Bro. Mallory.

BRO. WHITE: The testimonies of my brethren and sisters encourage me to go on, and fight the fight of faith, that I may eventually lay hold of eternal life. Satan often gets between us and our dear Saviour, and whispers in our ear. The way is too narrow and thorny, too much sacrifice; too much giving up of the pleasures of this world. And were it not for the heart-cheering testimonies of God's remnant people, and the fervent prayers of his saints, Satan might overcome us. We ask the prayers of God's people. We ask them to remember us in this land of sin and iniquity. It seems that all manner of crime is on the increase in the country. We are a little band of Sabbath-keepers, striving to keep God's commandments, and the faith of Jesus. There is a slight spirit of rebellion with some here relative to the visions of Sr. White, and the Laodicean message; but God's purposes will be accomplished, despite Satan and all his emissaries.
Was it not for that glorious promise of the soon coming of our Saviour, our courage would fail by the way. But God has said he will not forsake those that call upon, and put their trust in him. I am looking forward to that day with pleasing anticipation, the time when Jesus shall be seated upon the white cloud, surrounded by that angelic host, and giving life to those that sleep in Jesus. Then we shall meet those dear ones who have been bound by the fetters of death, and we with them will join in songs of everlasting praise to Him who gave us the victory over the beast and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name.
