Holding On in the Good Cause
By WM. E. PRICE.
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I take my pen in hand to tell you that I am not discouraged in the good cause of the Lord. I feel like holding on in the service of my God. Though my lot is that of the lonely ones, yet I feel that I am not alone, that God is ever near me and has not forsaken me. And while I am trying to do his commandments, he gives me strength to walk in the way that pleases him. God be praised for his goodness to poor me! When I was wandering away from him, trampling his mercies beneath my feet, he called to me by his ministers and told me what to do that I might please him. I do feel truly grateful to God that my ears ever heard the sound of the third angel's message, and that my heart was soft enough to try to obey. I do feel like doubling my diligence in serving my God; for he has been very good and kind to me in reproving me of my wrongs. When I have wandered from the way or done that which was not pleasing to him and my brethren, and made confession from the heart, he has ever been ready to strengthen me and give me of his Holy Spirit. It is eleven years last July since Bro. Cornell was at Decatur City, Iowa, where I heard the precious truth. The truth is indeed precious to God's humble people; and as the light is increasing on the truth, God grant that his people may see it and have strength to live it out. Yours in hope,
WM. E. PRICE.
