Dear Bro. White :—I avail myself of this opportunity to inform you of the state of the cause in this part of the country. We have been much enlightened and edified by hearing Brn. Stephenson, Hall and Waggoner, speak from the Word with clearness. Many have been convinced of the present truth.—There are about twenty-five in this place who are trying to keep the commandments of God, instead of the commandments of the Pope.
We are, truly, living in an age when we may expect persecution both from the nominal church and world, although there is not much difference between them. How often do we hear it repeated, that it makes no difference what day we keep, if we only keep it to the Lord. Old things are done away, and, of course, the old Jewish Sabbath is not binding on us. Thank God, that there are a few who are trying to restore the breach that has been made in God's law, by those who are willingly ignorant of the truth.—How dare people call God's holy Sabbath a Jewish Sabbath? I should think they would hear the voice of the Mighty One, saying, You are violating one of my moral precepts, that I engraved with my own finger on the tables of stone.
Your invaluable paper I love to peruse. I am rejoiced to hear that the third angel's message is on the rise. May God save all his dear children in the day of wrath.
