BROTHER F. H. WESTPHAL sends an interesting report to the Review, from which we collate these items of progress: A number of French Waldenses in Uruguay have accepted the truth under the labors of Brother Vuilleumier. A company of sixteen is reported by Brother J. McCarthy in Buenos Ayres. About a hundred acres of wheat and linseed have been planted for the Lord’s cause. At Moreno four families have united with the church, and two persons united with the church at Malabrigo.
OUR workers in the field frequently say that such and such a number have “accepted the truth.” Persons not of our faith may not understand the significance of that expression. It means that they have accepted the Word of God as a whole—“the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Rev. 14:12. The psalmist says, “Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is the truth.” Ps. 119:142. The Saviour’s prayer was, “Sanctify them through Thy truth; Thy Word is truth.” John 17:17. Then to accept the truth is to accept the Word of God, without any human changes in His law, or any supplementary traditions.
