Encouragement to Seek the Lord
By Wm. V. Field
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: The love of Christ constrains me to pen a few lines to you, hoping if possible to encourage you to seek the Lord more fully. I am trying to live the truth before a wicked and perverse generation; to walk with God, and receive this testimony, that my ways please him. This I realize takes great self-denial and consecration, but by God's grace I am sufficient for the task. Nine years have passed away since I embraced the message, and still I love the truth that has made us near by the blood of Christ. I am endeavoring to gain an experience that will sustain me in the hour of temptation. It has been a long time since I have heard from many of you. I love to hear of your welfare and your experience in the truth. I may never see many of you in this our pilgrimage, but for this am I laboring, that I may meet you when the Saviour comes, to forever enjoy the fruit of our labor.
