J. L. MACOMBS

By J. L. Macombs

From Bro. Macombs.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I feel like adding my testimony with you and telling of the goodness of God. For a long time I have felt it my duty to confess my sins and be washed in the blood of Christ; but temptations, trials, and besetments, have been, as I thought, too strong; but by praying for mercy I have found a dear Saviour more precious to me than anything this world affords.

I feel to thank God for his great goodness in sparing my unprofitable life until I found peace and salvation through Christ. I feel that I must put my whole heart to this great work; for we have but little time to get ready for the coming of the Son of Man on the white cloud.

Shall we all be ready? My prayer is daily that we may all be prepared to meet him with joy and not with grief. Dear young friends, you who may glance over this testimony, pause and think, What shall I do to be saved? Christ says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Let us get ready for the glorious rest, and receive the crown laid up for all those that love his appearing.

J. L. MACOMBS
