TESTIMONY NO. 28.

HAVING read this testimony, I feel like urging my brethren everywhere to obtain a copy and carefully study it. Although it is an occasion of the deepest distress that, as ministers and people, we should need instruction of the character contained in this book, yet it is also a reason for devout gratitude to God that, such being the case, God condescends to regard us with such mercy and love as to impart it. The reproofs are severe but just; and if we are led to sorrow “after a godly manner,” we shall “receive damage by it in nothing.” (See 2 Chron. 7:8-11); and the exhibitions of the love and power of God in the experience of his servants, as therein related, should inspire faith and courage in our hearts, that we may draw nigh to God by repentance and consecration, and enjoy the same blessings at his hand.
