Bro D. D. HAINES writes from Haverhill, Mass.: I believe the coming of the Lord is very near, and my prayer is for a humble and contrite heart, that I may live near to him and follow his holy example, so that when he comes I can be prepared to meet him in peace. I am thankful to God that I have the privilege of meeting with others of like precious faith on the Sabbath, for the worship of the living and true God. The members of this church love his worship and are striving to do his will. I would strive to take a deeper interest in the dear youth, for their salvation, that they may know the peace of God which passeth all understanding. I feel very thankful for our new question book by Bro. Bell. I like it. I think it will be a great help to the youth in learning the truths of the Bible, and that it will increase their confidence and interest in this blessed book. May we remember the dear youth often in our prayers, that they may be kept from the great temptations to do evil in these perilous times, and learn to walk in the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life. The truth of God's word is very precious to me, and I will strive, through the grace of God, to overcome my evil propensities, and run with patience the race that is set before me.
