The Truth Is Spreading.
By C. P. Whitford
THE following is an extract from a letter just received from a gentleman in South Carolina:— “DEAR BROTHER IN CHRIST: I failed to get the papers you sent, until a few days ago, and that has prevented me from answering your letter before, as I should have done. A friend of mine had taken them out of the office, and read them before he sent them to me; and I thought I would read them myself before answering you. “My friend, I must say I feel both happy and thankful for the kind interest you have taken in my welfare, by sending me those papers. They have opened to me new light on the Bible, and explained to me things that before were mysteries. I have examined the third angel’s message, which you marked, and I am satisfied with the arguments, and know that this message certainly must be delivered before the prophecies are fulfilled. “I would like very much to read your views and understand them thoroughly, as I have never heard of your sect before. Remember me in your prayers; for I am one of the scattered sheep from the flock, but hope to be gathered to the fold when Christ comes.” We first became interested in this gentleman by reading a letter from his pen published in an Eastern paper. We felt impressed to write him a letter and send him a few tracts and papers. With what profit, the above letter will show. We have ordered The Voice of Truth, to his address one year, and shall send him a package of books and tracts. We have also received two letters from a minister in Oregon, whose name we obtained in the same way. He expresses feelings of gratitude for the light he is receiving. He has already sent three dollars to the REVIEW Office for publications. Dear brethren, the truth is rapidly spreading. Our time to labor is short. The day of God is hastening. Upon us rests the responsibility of setting forth the truths of God’s word in their purity, and of giving to our fellow-men the message of warning which he has committed to us. We must set ourselves to this work as those who labor to save the perishing, and who think not of their own ease, or convenience, or comfort. Missionary workers! God calls us to labor and not to faint. Who will respond to his call?
