ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

By John Leland

AFTER having been favored with a course of lectures from Dr. M. G. Kellogg, we as a church most heartily endorse the resolutions of the General Conference, published in REVIEW, Vol. xxxi, No. 23, page 356, also the introduction and recommendation published in the same paper, page 364, 3d column, 1st article, by Gen. Conf. Com.

We would further say that we as a church have been greatly benefited by the lectures and sermons of Dr. Kellogg. We fully believe him to be amply qualified to present that part of the third angel’s message, upon which he lectures, in such a manner that all, professors or not, may be greatly benefited. The whole tenor of his lectures here has been to elevate, to sanctify, and to make those who follow the light, entirely conformed to the will of the Master for whose second coming we are all looking. He presents the message in a clear and cogent manner, besides being deeply versed in the science of life.

For ourselves, we can say that after becoming cast down in our minds, he came here and presented truth to us which caused the same unspeakable joy to come over us that we felt some seven years ago when under similar circumstances Bro. Loughborough first presented to our view the great truths of the third angel’s message.

By order of the church. JOHN LELAND, Church Clerk. Otsego, Mich.
