DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I truly see and feel that we are on the right track, the sure foundation—the foundation that God has laid for his people in these last and perilous times. And when I see poor feeble man trying to do away the fourth commandment, or get up some new doctrine in order to shun the cross of obeying it, I am led to pity them. It would seem that one dreaded the cross very much to try to show that the first day of the week is the seventh in order to make out that the day so popularly regarded throughout the world is the true seventh day, the day that we are called upon to observe by our great creator. Strange, indeed! that one man has found the whole world mistaken in their reckoning of the days of the week, and no one that has lived for the 1800 years past, or that now lives, has found out the mistake, but Mr. Campbell.
I have great reason to praise the Lord for his goodness to me. I hope to be ever faithful to do all his103commandments. They are not grievous to me. I want to be found faithful in all things, keeping his holy law pure, not offending in one point, that I may be prepared to meet his Dear Son from heaven, having on the robe of righteousness, unspotted from this world's pollution, that I may, with all the blest company of the redeemed have an entrance through the pearly gates into the holy City, and share the rich reward, eternal life!
O blessed the rest that long will endure,
The rest that remains for the chosen, secure.
I hope for a part with the blest in that land,
Where Jesus will reign with his blood-bought band.
