From Bro. Schellhous.

By L. Schellhous

BRO. SMITH: Permit me once more to write a few lines to the dear brethren who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I still feel grateful to my heavenly Father for his goodness to me in preserving my life and giving health, and above all a disposition to do his will, and to obey his righteous laws, also to try to follow the instruction given to the remnant people through Spiritual Gifts. I am glad that the way to the heavenly city is made so plain that if we heed the heavenly instructions we need not fear. Though rugged be the pathway, yet I would praise the Lord that we are almost through. But a little while longer if we are faithful, and we shall behold the King in his beauty where we shall bask in his smiles forevermore.
It is now over ten years since I first was led to the light, through the instruction of our dearly beloved Bro. Bates and Waggoner, who pointed out the truth so plain I could not resist it. If I had turned away from it, I should have no hope of salvation for myself. I praise the Lord that he has opened my eyes to behold the great truth of the blessed word of God.
Perhaps some of our dear brethren would like to hear how the little church in Colon is getting along. We are a scattered people. The members that compose this little church live quite a distance apart, from five to twelve miles, yet we try to hold our Sabbath meetings regularly. We meet every Sabbath. We hope in the name of the Lord and always receive a blessing. We are not discouraged in trying to serve the Lord, and to be prepared for his coming.
Yours striving to overcome. 0L. SCHELLHOUS. Colon, Mich.
