From Bro. Brown.

BRO. SMITH: I am oftentimes cheered and encouraged by reading the communications from the dear brethren and sisters in the Conference Department of our good paper. I feel unworthy and incompetent to write. Notwithstanding this, I do not feel excused on these grounds.

It is upward of seven years that I have been identified with Seventh-day Adventists. During this time I have been trying to learn in the school of Christ, and I am satisfied that my effort has not been in vain. I know that Jesus has the words of life; and may the Father ever give us grace and faith to submit to the instructions given us through the law of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the testimonies for the church. With these I feel that it is our privilege to go on to perfection, and that we are thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Now as God is so good in giving us instruction how to live, and what to do, let us move forward in our pilgrimage, bearing our burdens, and the strong helping the weak, and let us be united in staying up the hands of those whom the Lord has called out and placed at the head of this great work, that they may be free to labor in new fields and teach the truth to others, that they may be gathered into the fold of Christ.
