The Profit.

MALACHI speaks of a certain class who are inclined to think that it is vain to serve God, and they inquire what profit it is that they have kept his ordinance. Such facts as are stated in the communication given below from Bro. Best, of Andrew Co., Mo., will answer:—

I thank God for the light of present truth, and for his mercy in bringing to us the health reform. We scarcely ever have anything to complain of, while our neighbors around us are sick and suffering. Truly God has verified his promise to us since we have been keeping his Sabbath in showing mercy unto us. I am fully persuaded that your views of prophecy are correct, and that the image to the beast will soon be set up. Truly, we are living in the last days. Iniquity abounds on every hand, and even professed Christians are growing worse and worse, becoming blind and leaders of the blind. It is my greatest desire to honor the religion of the Bible. I would have the Spirit of Christ, so that I can say, I delight to do thy will, O God; yea, thy law is within my heart.
