By Nimrod R. Rigby

From Bro. Rigby.

Dear Bro. Smith: For the first time we embrace the privilege, through the Conference Department, to address our dear brethren of like precious faith. We feel to bless God for the light of present truth as it shines forth in the third angel's message; and though we have been slow to move out in the great truths it presents to our consideration, yet we bless the Lord that the Holy Spirit impresses these most solemn truths upon our hearts with increasing power, impelling us with holy ardor to move forward with the body in the great work of preparing for the solemn scenes that are rapidly approaching us, and for the speedy coming of the Lord. We can say with all the heart that we love the precious truths of the last message to the fallen race; we will ever praise the Lord for the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. It is an all-sufficient rule of faith and practice by which to become fully ready for the coming of the Lord. And we will ever rejoice in the light of the health reform. How wonderfully the Lord is leading us by a way we knew not; and our hearts respond to the forward movement of the body in the great work that lies before us. Praise the Lord, dear brethren, he is having a great care for his people, and is wonderfully blessing us with the gifts of the Spirit, by which to quicken us in the work of overcoming. May the Lord abundantly enable us to be faithful to the light he so mercifully gives us through the Testimonies to the church, practice it daily in our lives, that the purpose of the Lord in giving them may be accomplished in us, and we, as a body, stand on the Mount Zion. Amen.
