What Faithfulness Will Do.
By Geo. Kennedy
Some three years since, Bro. Lawrence came to this place, and gave a course of lectures. We were strangers to the Advent faith, and had never heard a minister of that denomination. Ten or twelve accepted of the truth. Since then, we have been trying to live out the truth, and keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We have received persecution, but it has only served to purify and drive us nearer to God. Our Bible-class and prayer-meetings have been sustained, and, as a reward of our faithfulness, God has added seven more to our number during the past summer. We have had no preaching since Bro. Geo. I. Butler was here last January. We feel to thank the Lord for all his many blessings to us as a little church through the past year. Oh! that all the churches scattered over this broad land may be faithful. While God sends his servants out into the world to proclaim his truth, let us who remain at home watch, work, and be faithful. GEO. KENNEDY.
