New Believers in Iowa

By Bro. E. T. Barber; Sr. E. T. Barber

BRO. AND SR. E. T. BARBER writes from Harrison Co., Iowa: We believe the truth, for it gives light and harmony to God's word and law. I have been a professor for eighteen years, my wife three years. Morning and evening we read the Bible and prayed to God to lead us in the path of duty. But we were blind in regard to the Sabbath and many things until Bro. Bartlett, a S. D. Adventist, moved neighbor to us. Last fall he gave a course of lectures. My wife, and self and four others, received the truth, and are trying to live it out. Bro. B. has given other lectures in this vicinity, had a good interest, and fruits to crown his labors. May God bless his efforts. We feel encouraged in our new faith, for the good reason that the Bible is more interesting and precious to us than ever, and it seems to be full of the second-advent faith. Very soon we believe we shall witness an end of all things. Oh! for strength to gain the victory at last. Oh! may our souls be prepared to meet the Lord, is our prayer; not for ourselves only but for all those who are patiently looking for his appearing. His precious promises cheer us on in the narrow way through the trials and afflictions of this vain world.
