The Seed Springing Up.

A FRIEND writes from Morrow Co., Ohio:—

I am very thankful that the Voice of Truth has found its way, not only to my family circle, but, to some extent, to my heart. I do not know who sends the Voice; but the donor may rest assured that I am very thankful for it.

I am a son of a minister of the M. E. Church. I have had great opportunity to acquire spiritual wisdom, so far as depends on parental teaching, but I have always had peculiar views, at least to such an extent that my parents were wont to call me an infidel; yet, when I compare my views with those taught in the Voice, which I never knew of until I received it, I find, gladly too, that I have been drawing nearer the truth.

I want to observe all the ordinances; and keep the commandments. The nearest Sabbath-keepers are twelve miles distant, and I have all the church to contend with, as well as the world. I desire to know the truth and then walk therein.
