J. H. WAGGONER

By Joseph Harvey Waggoner

January 1, 1876.

I HAVE read the appointment for New Year's day, and think it is very fitting for the time. All who, to any extent, realize the condition and wants of the cause must heartily acquiesce in this appointment, and I trust it will not be observed as a mere formality, but according to the spirit of the words of Joel 2:17: “Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thy heritage to reproach.” We greatly need a revival throughout the land. With confidence in the faithfulness of God let us humble ourselves before him, and we shall not fail of his blessing.
