Present Truth in Perry
By James H. Titus
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I would say to the brethren scattered abroad that there are a few in this place who are trying to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. It is but a short time since we first saw it our duty to keep the Sabbath of the Lord our God. We thank God for the light we have received in his blessed word. Bro. M. Curry has been here and preached to us on the third angel's message and subjects connected therewith. A good interest is manifested here. Some have embraced the present truth, and others are searching for the truth. We think if Bro. Curry should return here, or some other messenger of truth should come and preach to the people, that good might be done in the name of Jesus. And now, dear brethren, let me exhort you to be steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. O that we may be able to keep all of God's commandments, observing his holy Sabbath day with the rest, that when Christ leaves the heavenly Sanctuary, our sins may be blotted out and we be prepared to meet him in peace. Yours in hope of immortality at the appearing of Jesus.
JAMES H. TITUS.
