Sabbath Truth Flourishing on Catlin Hill
By David Upson
DEAR BRO. WHITE :—I am happy to write that the Sabbath truth is now flourishing on Catlin Hill, and its vicinity. There are now five entire families here keeping the Sabbath according to the commandment, besides some others. The conflict is growing more and more severe, and the dragon is becoming wroth with the remnant who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Rev. xii, 17. May God give us grace to take the shield of faith, wherewith we shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, that we may be able to stand against all the wiles of the Devil. I have ever rejoiced that I was led to embrace the Sabbath, and feel that I did the will of God. When Bro. Rhodes came here with the third angel's message, it gave me new light on the coming of Christ, and my pathway has continued to shine brighter and brighter. I hope to stand on Mount Zion with the88144,000, that will sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Yours waiting patiently,
DAVID UPSON.
