WHAT THEY SAY.

Bro. Jacob W. Bray writes from Hamilton Co., Neb.:—

“I became interested in present truth by reading some publications, and wishing to get more light, I wrote to the REVIEW for some one to come and give a course of lectures, hoping also that others might be benefited by it. Bro. C. L. Boyd came immediately, but did not receive a very good reception, but by his firm trust in God he was not easily baffled. By his godly walk, conversation, and doctrine, he won the esteem of all. As a result twenty-one have signed the covenant to keep God’s holy law and the faith of Jesus. I have hitherto been connected with the first-day Adventists, and I believe that they yet hold some grand truths; these I still hold dear, but I find by a careful investigation that there is still a clinging to that power ‘who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped.’ We must bring back what the papal power has tried to take away, that is, the law of God. Obedience to the commandments of God and faith in the purifying blood of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins makes a perfect and glorious plan of salvation. May God speed the last message to a Judgment-bound world.”

Sister Mary J. Casselman, of Jackson Co., Mich., says:—

“I cannot forbear expressing my heartfelt gratitude to those who write for our excellent paper as well as to Him who has given them the talent thus to do. Truly we are living in a time when there is great light given us. I believe the Lord is pouring out his Spirit upon his servants, and giving them to understand his precious truth in such a manner that those who read may gain knowledge and strength. Those articles on the subject of the sanctuary—how they have enlightened my mind! We have no meetings here; but when I think of the light we have my heart goes out after our friends and neighbors that do not have this truth. I desire some part in the work of the last warning message to the world; for I know that all must do something.”
