TESTIMONY FROM THE SWEDES.

The following is translated for the Review from a communication written by our Swedish brethren in Lake City, Minn.—

“We would first lift up our hearts in joy and gratitude to God for the precious promises he has given us in his word and that we are permitted to see and feel the fulfillment of these promises. He has said, ‘Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee,’ and we can say, that he has done this, and we will not forget to praise him therefor.

“We would then express our heartfelt gratitude to our American brethren for all the care and toil they have expended for our good. It was a great joy to our hearts to read Bro. Butler’s testimony in our Swedish paper, the HAROLD. We feel very grateful to him therefor; we wish to know the truth, for the truth shall make us free. Keep on, brethren, your work is not in vain nor fruitless. We believe in and watch for the soon coming of our Lord and Master, when he will say to those who have been faithful in his service, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.’”
