Communication from Bro. Curry.
By Manning Curry
DEAR BROTHER WHITE:—I have been shaping my business for the last year, since I saw the light on the Sabbath of the Lord, to devote my time to the work of preaching the word. I have been hindered some by the ill health of my family. I now am in the field, and hope to be until the Lord finishes his last work of mercy to a fallen world. I have just been to Windsor, to visit for the first time the little flock who came into the faith last winter, under the faithful labors of our beloved brother, J. B. Frisbie. At the time they received the truth they had only a very few discourses, yet they are fully established on the Sabbath, and most of them are clear on the Life and death, yet they have not heard, as yet, a discourse on that subject. I found them steadfast, having the unity of the spirit in the bonds of peace. They are all intelligent believers, and well prepared to give a reason of their hope. The brushings that they have passed through, some of which have been noticed in the Review, have only fortified them on the rock of truth, and convinced the candid part of community that they have the truth of God for their foundation. I gave them a discourse on Baptism, touching the design and importance of that institution. They saw the force of the truth, and four of them obeyed the Lord in baptism; others will doubtless follow their example soon. We had a joyful time in obeying the Lord, in attending to this institution of his word. The brethren journeyed with me on my way some miles on Monday morning, to the Grand River's bank, where, after singing and prayer they put on the Lord Jesus Christ by baptism. They returned rejoicing, while I went on my way to carry the word of life to others. May the Lord preserve us all unto life eternal. Delhi, Mich., Aug. 21, 1855.
