From Bro. Warren.

By Z. C. WARREN

Dear Brethren and Sisters: Let us take courage. Though the enemy of all righteousness is mustering all of his forces against the truth, yet it prospers, and will go forth in power if we are only faithful and true to our post. Let us strive with our whole might to spread the glorious news of the gospel of Christ and his soon coming. By the mercy of God I have been trying to lay this blessed truth before the minds of the people in an adjoining town from this. I have given some five discourses, and the interest to hear seems to be very good. Some have confessed that we have the truth as regards the Sabbath, but have not yet decided to keep it, but feel anxious to still hear more of this Bible-doctrine. Brethren, let us pray that God's Spirit may accompany his word, that it may be as seed sown in good ground. Let us pray that God will give his messengers strength and wisdom from on high, that his truth may go forth conquering and to conquer, until the last honest-hearted one has embraced the truth of the third angel's message.

There are a few of us here in this place who are trying to be overcomers, that we may wear the crown. Oh! blessed thought. Wear the crown! Brethren and sisters, fight on a little longer. Soon will the Master come and call for us. Let us not be ashamed of Christ or his cause, but let us strive to have on the wedding garment, that when the Bridegroom cometh, we may be among his guests and and partake of his bounty. Yours striving for the kingdom.

Z. C. WARREN.
