MAXON LANPHEAR

By Maxon Lanphear

From Bro. Lanphear.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It is with great joy that I have been privileged with the reading of the REVIEW. Through the blessing of God, some kind friend has sent the paper to me, and I feel to express my thanks to those who sent it. It is cheering to read the truths that are therein contained. I think it is the next thing to the blessed Bible.
About two years ago I embraced the Advent doctrine, and I feel to praise the Lord that I ever heard it preached. By reading the Bible, and by the blessing of God, I have become fully established in the seventh-day Sabbath. It has now become my delight to try to keep the commands of my blessed Master. For the last six months, I have been trying to induce others to believe the precious truth. I have distributed in this place about three hundred tracts upon the truths of the Bible. I have some strong opposers upon the Sabbath, who are trying to make the people believe there is no Sabbath binding upon us at all. The fruits of their labor are plainly to be seen in this place. It is my desire and prayer to God that we may have help from some kind friends, who are capable of explaining the truth to us in this place.
Pray for me, dear brethren and sisters, that I may do my whole duty, and be prepared to meet you when Christ shall come.
