By W. T. Hinton

From Bro. Hinton.

BRO. SMITH: Permit me to say to the brethren scattered abroad that I am still holding on to the truth, and, by the grace of God, I will strive on. I see every day my imperfections and where I make failures; but, oh! what a precious Saviour we have! How boundless his love to sinners!

It is very seldom that I have the privilege of meeting with my brethren to worship God. I am one of the lonely ones. The REVIEW, in its weekly visits, is of incalculable worth to me. I could not do without it.

Brethren, one and all, far and near, God bless you in the truth. While I pen these few lines, tears of joy spring up, and I am constrained to thank my Heavenly Father for his goodness to me. I say again, God bless you, who have the privilege of meeting from Sabbath to Sabbath, and help you to appreciate these great blessings; and you, too, who like myself have not such privileges. God help you to be faithful, and endure unto the end.

The fig tree, brethren, is fast putting forth its buds. And, oh! welcome day! We shall soon see our blessed Saviour on the white cloud. We are in great hopes that Brn. Cornell and Butler may be permitted to come out here this summer, and help us. I believe there are some who would embrace the truth, if they could hear it properly set forth. God grant that this may be the case. Brethren, pray for me, that I may so live out the truth as to lead some to embrace it.

Yours in hope of eternal life when Jesus comes.
