Speak often One to Another.
By L. H. Densmore
“We mortals are apt to tire of the repetition of the simple testimony we bear here, to the goodness and mercy of God; and we are sometimes tempted to say nothing, because we cannot continually say something new. But may we not learn a profitable lesson from the course of these holy beings above, who never grow weary in the continual repetition of these words, ‘Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty;’ and to whom these words never grow old; because their hearts ever glow with a sense of his holiness, goodness, and love?” Thoughts on Revelation, p. 79. Gladly would I have tried long ago to write words of good cheer, but the thought of nothing new has kept me silent all these years that I have attentively read the REVIEW. Oh! for an elevated mind, that we may appreciate and thank God for the benefits we enjoy. I am separated, like many others, from those of like precious faith. But when the Sabbath comes, and all my neighbors and friends are busy with the labors and cares of this life, amid all this, the holy Sabbath is dear to me, and with the word of God and our publications relating thereto, with many longings, and some tears, for the assembly of our people, still I can say the Sabbath is my delight. Very dear to me is the health reform. Let us advance with the light, lest to us it become darkness. If I, by assisting grace, am able to subdue all the evil in my sinful nature, I shall dwell forever with our glorious Redeemer, and all those who are cleansed through his sufferings for mankind. L. H. DENSMORE.
