T. RAMSEY

By T. Ramsey

From Bro. Ramsey.

BRO. WHITE: I feel very thankful to the Lord that amid the great strife and commotion in our country, I am still endeavoring to try to please the Lord in keeping his commandments. Truly the times in which we are living are very solemn, yet I fear we do not realize it as we should. May we all as a people wake up, and come up to the high standard of true piety. I fear for many of our brethren who have grown-up children and let them desecrate God's holy day. This should not be. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." "Train up your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." These are commandments from the Lord, and we must obey them or we never can expect to see the kingdom of heaven.

We have meetings here twice a week. Our company is very small, but we claim the promise, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in their midst." I am thankful to see that there are a few in Ohio trying to do the will of the Lord. We would be very glad if some messenger would come and labor in this State.

Yours striving for heaven.
