From Bro. Jones.

By E. O. Jones

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: The prophet says, “They that feared the Lord spake often one to another,” and we are to exhort one another so much the more as we see the day approaching; and as the Review is made a medium through which we may speak to each other, I avail myself of the opportunity of testifying to the truths which the Review so faithfully advocates. I love them, and I love that people who rally around the Advent banner. The sermons in the Review are all the preaching I have. But yet it raises the standard of holiness so high that it seems that so vile and sinful a creature as I am never can attain to it. But I am resolved to try. Poor, weak nature is ready to sink, but a loving Saviour says, My grace is sufficient for thee. Oh! these precious promises are like a helping hand reaching out to lift us over and above the troubles of life. Let us never despair while Jesus is on the giving hand. May we all so live that when Jesus comes we may hear him say, Come ye blessed; inherit the kingdom prepared for you. Amen.
E. O. JONES.
