JESSE BARROWS

By Jesse Barrows

From Bro. Barrows.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It has been a long time since you have heard from me through the REVIEW. It is not because I have lost my love for the truth; no, it is because there are so many more to write for the REVIEW now, than there were some twenty years ago when I first embraced the truth, that I have kept still. The Review has ever been a welcome messenger to me. While I read those cheering epistles from the brethren and sisters, it cheers my heart to press on with God’s people. I had the privilege of attending the New England Camp-meeting, last fall, and hearing those solemn truths and straight testimonies that were proclaimed by God’s servants; also the privilege of meeting with some of the tried friends that have toiled on through all the Advent movement. I believe their straight testimonies found a lodging place in my heart. I believe I have profited by the privilege I enjoyed. My privileges of meeting with the people of God for the last five years have been somewhat limited; but I can say the truth never looked more precious to me than now. I want to confess all my sins that they may be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come.
Yours in hope of eternal life when Jesus comes,

JESSE BARROWS

Washington Co., Vt., Jan. 1870.
