Testimony for Present Truth

From Bro. Crous.

BRO. SMITH: Permit me once more to speak in favor of the truths held by Seventh-day Adventists. I have long since learned to love them. Eight years of experience has endeared them to me, and the longer I try to live up to the truths we hold, the brighter they shine. The truths of God's word have lighted up my pathway, so that I have been able to keep his commandments. I am truly thankful for the light of present truth, especially the health reform. What a blessing to the remnant of God's people; but how slow we are to move out in regard to these things.
“Look how we grovel here below Fond of these earthly toys.”
How could we live in harmony, and be of one mind and heart were it not for the light of the third angel's message, which is the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
Why are we so slow to heed the instructions given us through the gift of prophecy? Let us try to be more ready to do our duty, that we may not grieve the Holy Spirit, nor discourage the laborers. May the Lord pity us, and his Spirit move us to action, that we may not be left behind.
Your brother in Christ.                                         Wm. F. Crous. Appleton.
