A Brother’s Appeal for Christian Fellowship
By C. R. Rice
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I thankfully improve the opportunity of once again communicating through the REVIEW with those whom I believe have the truth of God, and, if faithful a little longer, will compose a part of the great family of Heaven. Every word uttered, which is warmed and enlivened with the Spirit of God, has more or less influence to do something for a dear Saviour who has done so much for us. I hope and pray that God will send some laborer to this place, that those of us who are trying to keep the commandments may learn more about the way, and more closely connect ourselves with the true church. My desire is to live in perfect obedience to God's holy law, glorifying him in all that I do; but how often do I fail, and am led to exclaim in the language of Paul, that when I would do good, evil is present with me! I hope that none will neglect the duty of speaking often one to another, as I have, feeling that the space in the REVIEW will be better filled with a few words from some one else; but may we walk humbly before God, doing his will in all things, knowing that he is ever ready to help us, making our burdens light, and our pathway joyous.
C. R. RICE.
