Thus Far the Lord Has Led Us

By J. H. ROGERS.

In the year 1860 the light of present truth came to me while living in the State of Missouri. I had been reared from early life in the advent faith; but when the light of the third angel’s message came, many things were made plain which before were obscure and hard to understand, such, for instance, as the millennium, the saints’ inheritance, and the gifts of the Spirit. Now, at the age of nearly eighty-three, I can see the Lord’s hand in the message more and more plainly as the years go by. The Lord has led us on, and blessed be his name forever.
As I am permitted to do pastoral work among our churches, the Lord bestows the riches of his grace and the presence of the Holy Spirit. We are surely in the time of the latter rain, and if the Holy Spirit is now awaiting our demand and reception, it is important that we get into right relation to God for its bestowment upon us. Then the gifts of the Spirit will be manifested in mighty power. O, for a closer walk with God! And it is for us.
One of the important helps in maintaining a closer walk with God is our good church paper, the REVIEW. This paper, with its great spiritual uplift, the information it brings regarding the advancement of this message in all parts of the world, and the plans it presents for further progress, is an inspiration to every reader, and ought to be in the home of every believer in this message. No one should forgo its benefits.
