DEAR BRO. WHITE:—Truly it is a privilege to hear from the friends of truth through your valuable sheet: it is the very thing we need in these days of peril, to encourage us to overcome.
Brethren and sisters, I would say to you, "Be of good cheer," the time is soon coming when he whose right it is will reign; and then if faithful, we shall be gathered with all of God's children, to reign in the new Jerusalem forever. A few more meetings and partings of friends, a few more trials on this earth, and we shall be called to a more congenial clime—a place where we shall not be troubled by those who care not for God nor for his children.
Brethren and sisters, the treasures and pleasures of this life are nothing to be compared with those of the life to come. Those of this life are fading and transitory; but of the life to come, are permanent and lasting. I have often thought of the scripture which says, "Life is as a vapor that appeareth for a little season, and then passeth away."
We can look forward to the time when the dead in Christ shall rise to a blissful immortality, when this earth shall bloom in splendor, and the redeemed of the Lord will dwell on it forever, with none to molest or make them afraid.
