Letter from Mrs. E. Slocum on Bible Study

MRS. E. SLOCUM, writes from Slocumville, R. I.:—
A number of years ago, I became interested in reading the Bible. I felt at times that the things of this life and its pleasures had failed to satisfy my mind. About that time, Bro. Rodman came to this place, to tell us about Jesus' coming. He was the first to lead our minds to this important subject, and that the ungodly should not stand in the Judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
We read our Bibles to see if what we heard was truth, and while we read, we watched; for by their fruits you shall know them.
I soon learned, that Jesus was our future life-giver. I am glad that I see beauty in this Jesus, that caused me to love and try to obey him. The result of his labor has been that a little company here can say, We have respect to God's word, and will read and obey.
