D. D. HAINES

By D. D. Haines

From Bro. Haines.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I would give my testimony on the side of the truth of the third message. I still rejoice in the blessed hope, in the power and willingness of Christ to save from sin. More and richer blessings than I have deserved has our Heavenly Father in mercy bestowed upon me.

I feel that I owe a debt of gratitude which I can never pay in this world. The way of the Lord as made known to us in these last days is a plain and strait way; and I feel determined, by the grace of God, to walk in this good way. I know all that is required of me in his holy word is right and reasonable. How important that we have decision of character to do the will of God, and live up to the light of present truth. Satan is working in great power to entice God’s people from the right path. How important that we are sober-minded and watch unto prayer. I have no disposition to turn back from the path of duty, but mean to press forward and suffer the will of God with his people.

I feel thankful that I was able to attend the New Hampshire Camp-meeting to meet so many of the people of God, and to unite with them in the praise and worship of God, and hear words of truth and life from his tried servants. May we hold fast, that no one take our crown.

Yours in hope of life through Christ.
