The Third Angel’s Message Advances
By H. Flower
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—The Lord is still with the little remnant in this place. The conference here has just closed. Brn. Baker, Wheeler, and Wyman attended. The word preached was backed up by the energies of the Holy Ghost, and we trust that much good will be the result of the meeting. A number manifested a desire for the prayers of the saints by rising. The third angel's message is gaining ground here, notwithstanding there are many adversaries. It is the truth, and it will go forward. The Lord speed it on, is my prayer. Some are making up their minds, in this place, to keep the commandments of God. The Review and Herald is received here with gladness. We hope you will visit us on your tour East. I feel that it is good for me to keep the Sabbath. It is not grievous. How sweet the promise in Isa. lviii, 13, 14:— "If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord honorable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
"Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."
We wish to be remembered by all the faithful ones. Yours in the love of the truth,
Ashfield, Mass., July 13th, 1852. H. FLOWER.
