Encouragement in the Advent Hope
By L. Martin
Bro. L. MARTIN writes from Bennington, N. H.: My heart is cheered by the epistles in the REVIEW. I feel like thanking God and taking courage. It looks very plain to me, that the end of the Christian race is very near at hand, that deliverance is soon coming to all the faithful ones of earth. I have believed in the glorious Advent doctrine since 1843. I believed with all my heart that Jesus would come in 1844. How many have made shipwreck of their faith since that time. And were it not for the love and tender mercy of our God, where should any of us be now? I had the privilege of attending the late meeting at Washington, and hearing the precious truth once more from our dear Bro. and sister White. I can say, Good is the word of the Lord. I bless God that he is raising up many in different places to take a stand upon the truth.
