LETTERS.

By Alonzo Lee

From Bro. Lee.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I am glad to send you the name of one who wishes to read the "Review and Herald," and appears to be anxious to obtain light on the present truth. It does appear strange that so few of the brethren, who were once strong in the Lord, are willing to listen to the message of the third angel.

I am striving, with my companion and children, to keep the commandments of God, that we may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the City. The Lord is with us, and is strengthening and encouraging us to go forward, to trust and confide in him. I praise God for what he has done, and is still doing, for me and my little family. I thank him that he ever put it into the hearts of his servants to come this way with the third angel's message. It has proved a great blessing to us, and I believe it will to others in this vicinity.

I have lately been to see a number of brethren and sisters, and since I commenced this letter have found three more who are willing to search the scriptures to see if these things are so, and wish for the "Review and Herald" to assist them in searching. The one whom I mentioned at the commencement of this letter has already kept two or three Sabbaths, and, although she meets with some opposition, is determined to keep the commandments of God instead of following the traditions of men. I here send the address of those who wish for the paper, earnestly praying that God will enable them to see the light there is in the present truth.

Yours in hope of obtaining a right to the Tree of Life, and admittance through the gates into the City.

ALONZO LEE.

Hatley, (C. E.), Dec. 15th, 1851.
