FromAdvent Review and Sabbath Herald, Vol. XXX, No. 15

BRO. J. F. HAMMOND writes from Rhode Island: I feel to thank God with all my heart for the privilege I have had in reading the Advent Review and Herald, from the first one Bro. White published in Connecticut to the present time. I find so many encouraging letters written by the brethren and sisters that are keeping the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus. My love for the truth of the commandments has been increased since God in his goodness to me suffered the light of the Sabbath to shine upon my pathway in 1847. Light and truth is constantly increasing, and all who walk in the light as it shines upon their pathway will soon be fitted for their heavenly inheritance. I am satisfied that the Health and Dress Reforms are fitting the saints for the great day of trouble. I feel to praise God that I have been permitted to behold the light of present truth, and by the help of God I am striving to live it out, that I may hear the welcome sound from the lips of Jesus, “Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord.” My heart is pained every day to see many professed Advent people following the foolish fashions of this world, and breaking the commandments of God.
