ORA B. STILES

By Ora B. Stiles

From Bro. Stiles.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It is a long time since I have written to let you know where I stand; but it is not because the present truth is less plain or dear to me. No, fifteen years experience in the present truth, and study of the same, has convinced me beyond a doubt that we are living near the end of time, just before the wrath of God is poured out upon our guilty world. God's people should arise from their lukewarm state in the power and might of Elijah's God, that the message may rise and go forth with power. God works by means. He works through his people. Therefore, he will have a people prepared for this work. I do want to be one of his chosen ones. I am resolved to stand in his counsel, to have on the whole armor, and to perfect holiness in his fear. Pray for me brethren, that I may overcome, and stand with you on Mount Zion. It is seldom that I can meet with those of like precious faith; therefore the REVIEW is very precious to me. It is meat in due season, for it is laden with present truth, and with the cheering testimonies of the brethren and sisters. I am very thankful for the REVIEW, and I endeavor to receive it as a blessing from God. I wish to tender my thanks to the brethren that donate of their means, that the poor may have the REVIEW. God will bless them abundantly if they are faithful to the end.

Yours in hope of eternal life.
