D. D. HAINES

By D. D. Haines

From Bro. Haines.

BRO. SMITH: I wish to say to my brethren and sisters through the REVIEW, that I am striving through the grace of God, to press my way onward toward the New Jerusalem, putting my whole trust in God, who has been, and is still, with me, and has promised that he will never leave nor forsake me. My faith in God has been severely tried within a year past, yet by the grace of God I have been enabled to still believe his holy word, and have found his grace sufficient for me in all my trials. Surely I believe our Heavenly Father knows what is best for us, and there is nothing gained by murmuring about our trials, for “here is the patience of the saints,” and we must learn patience, and learn to bow in meek submission to the will of God. I am still determined to trust in his holy name, who doeth all things well.

I read the REVIEW with a great interest, and love those precious truths it advocates, and believe with all my heart the testimonies God has been pleased to set in the church to point out our wrongs, and to guide his people in these last days; and may the Lord enable me to be faithful to the light he so mercifully gives me in the truth of the third angel's message.

Yours, striving to overcome.
