Truth Rising in the Vicinity
By Josiah Hart
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—With a glad heart I communicate a few lines to express my thankfulness for the many blessings that the Lord in these last moments of time is bestowing upon us. The cause of truth is rising in this vicinity. The saints are taking hold of the work anew. Prejudice is being removed by the influence of the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord, truth will have its designed effect upon the hearts of the honest, and eventually triumph. The little company that keep the commandments, will, through Christ, prevail, and yet gain the victory. Let all the saints rejoice for the glorious prospects held out to the faithful. Our motto is, Onward! Victory will turn on the side of those who are faithful and true to their Master. My heart is made to rejoice while I see that the Lord is setting his hand to the work, which is marvelous in our eyes. To him be all the glory. Northfield, Vt., July, 1853. JOSIAH HART.
