Testimony No. 23 Endorsed by R. F. Cottrell
By R. F. Cottrell
I have carefully and prayerfully read this work a second time. It is instructive; and it commends itself to my judgment. It faithfully points out our dangers; and we should be thankful for its admonitions. The only thing to be regretted is that there should exist the necessity of such rebukes and chastenings. But they are for our salvation, if we will heed them. “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous, therefore, and repent.” To heed these warnings is my settled purpose. By the help of God, I will be an overcomer. I would recommend to all to read these reproofs; and if you find them distasteful to you—if you find a disposition in yourself to repel them—you may be sure that you are out of harmony with the spirit of the work of the Lord, and need a new conversion to the truth for these perilous times. Let us humbly heed the timely admonitions, and engage with renewed zeal in the solemn work of the last message.
