The Signs as a Preacher
By S. A. Ross
I WISH to give my testimony in favor of our excellent paper, the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and of the truth which it teaches. Our church is small, as many of our brethren and sisters have moved to other places. Those who remain are trying to live out the truth and have the blessing of God. We sometimes regret that we have no preaching with us, but we find the SIGNS a good preacher, and I think if we have the truth, and if we are in the last days and this is the last message of mercy that is to be given to fallen men, we ought to be thankful for the blessings we have received, and feel more interest to have our ministers go to other parts and warn others of the dangers which are coming on the earth. I have noticed that they who complain most of the want of preaching are the most slack in discharging their own duty. The sifting time is surely coming, and we must not sleep now. Some think they can be saved without keeping the commandments of God, but as Paul says, “By the law is the knowledge of sin,” they will be proved sinners if they transgress the law, in spite of their great profession. For my part I have no greater desire than to live out this truth, and to have wisdom to raise my children to grow up in the admonition of the Lord.
