From Bro. Wild.

By Wm. H. Wild

DEAR BRO. SMITH: I want to say through the Review, for the encouragement of those of like precious faith, who are trying to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, that our little Grove Meeting here was like one of the old ’44 meetings. The sweet spirit of truth descended upon us at the commencement and carried the truth to the hearts of the hearers. Several have decided to keep the Sabbath; others are examining it, and I trust will soon take a decided stand to keep all of God’s commandments. Bro. Rodman preached on the three messages, and the two laws, and it was received by nearly all of the dear children. I expect to see before long a little church here keeping the commandments of God as well as the faith of Jesus.

Bro. George Barker of Lime Rock, Ct., a first-day preacher, was with us from the commencement. Bro. Henry Pratt of Springfield, Mass., was with us until Sabbath morning. Friday afternoon he preached against the Sabbath, taking up the old objections, calling the typical law the moral law, saying it was dead, &c. His argument to those who never heard on the two laws looked like truth, but when Bro. Rodman preached on the two laws they saw a beauty and a harmony in it as they never saw before.

Thank God for the light of present truth. Wm. H. Wild.
