Testimony No. 22.

Once more the Spirit of God has spoken to us as a people. It gives us instruction and counsel of priceless worth. It also gives reproof and correction. Let no one despise the chastening of the Lord or faint when reproved of him. These things may cause us great pain, but they are an evidence of God’s love for us. The Judgment is before us, and it is of infinite consequence to us to know our faults now, and to faithfully correct them. This is the light in which I view this matter. I do therefore feel from my heart grateful that God gives us reproof both as a people and as individuals. It is also my purpose to faithfully correct my life in every thing wherein I am shown to be faulty. I earnestly advise all others to act in like manner. I trust there will be a general interest to read the several Testimonies with care, and to give them frequent re-perusals.
