Conference Department by H. W. Lawrence

Conference Department.

By H. W. Lawrence

Exhorting one another, and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. Heb. x, 25.

This Department is designed to fill the same place in the paper that the Conference or Social Meeting does in the worship of God. We speak often one to another to comfort, edify and aid each other in the way of holiness and true Christian experience.

From Bro. Lawrence.

BRO. SMITH: I would like to inform the readers of the Review that I am in harmony with the advance movements of the body of Seventh-day Adventists, the Health Reform not excepted. I acknowledge the wisdom granted the church through the gifts of the Spirit as vastly superior to the private judgment of individuals. I rejoice that wrongs can be corrected and put away. There seems to be a yielding to straight testimony among our people at this time more readily than formerly. This to me is a token that many will overcome. I trust Testimony No. 11 will lead the church to a closer union with the Saviour.

I have often thought that we who profess “present truth,” ought to feel for the erring more as Moses felt for his people when pleading for God to spare them, &c. Several in this locality have recently manifested an unusual degree of anxiety to have their experience in harmony with Rev. iii, 18–20. We can but hope for signal victories when the church engage in the conflict with the “whole armor” upon them. In hope of triumph at last, I remain a lover of truth.
