A Testimony to Present Truth
Bro. J. Hacket writes from Bourbon Co. Kansas: About ten months ago I came to the conclusion that the whole religious world was sharing in the great apostasy spoken of in 2 Thess., and was about to give up all hope that when the Son of man shall appear he shall find faith on the earth. But oh the joy and peace of mind I received when the last message of warning came to me. Babylon is fallen, come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and receive not of her plagues. Since that time I have been endeavoring to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I thank and magnify the name of the Lord for the light that has been shed upon his sacred Word, and the precious truths I have received therefrom. I believe that the Lord has a people whom he is preparing for translation with whom I wish to add my testimony in favor of present truth, and share in their persecutions for Jesus’ sake. The apostle says, “All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” But there is consolation in his promises that if we suffer we shall also reign with him. The Review is the only preaching we have. I believe if the truth was preached out here there are some that would obey.
