By N. G. HERRINGTON

From Bro. Herrington.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: For the first time I avail myself of the privilege of speaking to the scattered ones of God's children, through the columns of this zealous defender of God's word. I often feel that it would be a great pleasure to be permitted to meet with His people; but I have received great encouragement from the testimony of others through the REVIEW, and it is this that makes me venture to send in my testimony, hoping that it may cheer the heart of some lone pilgrim on the way to eternal life.

About eight months ago I first began to learn the true way to eternal life; although for some years previous I had been a professor. Yet when the truth found me I was in a fallen state, backslidden from God; but I shall ever have cause to thank him for sending one of his faithful servants to bring the last message of mercy to me. Disgusted with popular Christianity, I had again turned to the world to seek the happiness I did not find in the church. Still I was not satisfied; and oft times felt deeply the need of a Saviour's love, and would pray that if there was a God, he would send me the truth and I would obey. And he did send me this last message by Brother Strong; and by God's help I can and will obey.

I received much encouragement from the brethren and sisters at North Liberty when first starting in the truth, for which I have often thanked God. Pray for me, brethren and sisters, that I may ever be found faithful on the Lord's side, and prepared to meet him when he comes.
