From Sister Allen.

BRO. SMITH: I have long felt it duty to say to the brethren and sisters through the Review, that I enjoy very much their testimonies and reports. I was much pleased when I read Bro. P. C. Rodman's call for help. I hope it will be heeded. May God in mercy give the hearing ear and the understanding heart. I pity those that are turning a deaf ear to Bible truths. Jesus will soon come and they will have no oil in their lamps. I hope the lonely ones will hold fast till Jesus comes. It wont be long. By help divine I am holding fast to the great and solemn truths for this time, also to my tongue when I am provoked and tempted by the unbeliever. Thirty-five years since I came out publicly on the Lord's side. He has so held me up that I have not backslidden, and I have been seeking continually after truth and right.

Experience and study have prepared me to say that the Seventh-day Advent people have the most correct appreciation of Bible truths of any denomination I have any knowledge of. I have dropped my errors, one after another, as fast as I found truth to supersede them.

“The worth of Truth no tongue can tell; It will do to buy, but not to sell.”

I love all the writings of sister White. They have done me much good. The Health Reformer, I think is a cheap but good doctor.

I am a lonely one as yet, but I feel to thank God and take courage. Though deprived of your meetings, and your good society here, I hope to be gathered with you when Jesus comes. I would humbly ask an interest in your prayers for the same.
