A Family Keeping God’s Commandments
By J. B. Sweet
Dear Bro. White :—I can say of a truth that I feel thankful to our heavenly Father for numbering our whole family with those that keep the commandments of God. All praise be to the Most High. Our dearly beloved Bro. Bates, who has so long stood in front of the battle, has just left us for the East. Our souls have been fed with meat in due season, while hearing him explain the Scriptures of truth. O, may the Lord speed the messengers on their way, in search of those who have been scattered on the mountains of Israel. I am well aware that they have much to pass through, but I would say, hold fast a little longer. He that mustereth the hosts of the battle will go before you, and the battle will soon end in triumphs of victory. I praise God that the truth is being powerfully felt in this Western country. In hope of eternal life, J. B. Sweet.
