From Bro. Boaz.

DEAR BRO. SMITH: Something over ten years ago, the warning notes of the third angel's message found me and mine in a waste, howling wilderness; yet we had a name in one of the popular churches of the day. How unconscious we were of our lost condition. It truly led me in a way that I knew not of. I am lost in admiration of the love of God to those who love and confide in his word. I can say of a truth, the more I investigate and read the Bible, the clearer every part of this glorious present truth shines. And if there is any part that gives me more joy than another, it is the restoration of the gifts. But we should not reverence one part of present truth more than another. Truth should only fill its place, or else it becomes error. How I rejoice over the good work that our beloved Bro. White is doing. But it is not him; it is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. Praise the Lord for his signal goodness to his people. A word to you, brethren and sisters in the Office. God bless you in your arduous duties; be zealous for the right. And to the contributors to our excellent REVIEW AND INSTRUCTOR: speak often; sow your seed; you know not which shall prosper, this or that. It is cheering to the lone ones to hear from you. I speak from experience.
