Striving to Enter the Narrow Way

By Darius Myers

From Bro. Myers.

DEAR BRO. WHITE :—I feel that we are living in a solemn time—"in an age on ages telling." Momentous consequences are depending, soon to decide our eternal interest, eternal life, or eternal death! Oh, who can bear the thought of hearing the sentence, depart! Who can bear the thought of being for ever excluded from the bright scenes of glory that are reserved for the redeemed?

But those that are saved will have to strive to enter; for the way is strait, or difficult, and few there be that find it. Matt. vii, 13, 14. Luke xiii, 24, 25. And what a scene awaits the lost, when once the Master of the house has risen up and shut to the door. Then there will be wailing. How can we think of this and feel hard towards our enemies?

The brethren here are holding on, as firm as ever. Although our enemies are strong, we intend to go on.
