In Behalf of the Church in Delhi
By F. F. Lamoreaux
In behalf of the Church in Delhi, Mich.
Bro. Smith:—In behalf of the Church of Delhi I wish to say to the scattered flock, that we are firm in the faith of the present truth, and believe the coming of the Lord is near. We are cheered when we read the letters in the Review, and find that the Message is rising and the interest increasing. We think the evidence is clear that our great High Priest has entered the Most Holy Place, to cleanse the Sanctuary; and if we are faithful we expect soon to see him, and share with the ransomed in glory. Our prayer is that you may be blessed in spreading the light of the present truth, to comfort the scattered ones, and warn the careless and unbelieving of the hour of temptation which is coming upon all the world. We are united in supporting the Review in the position it now occupies, and hope it will continue to come to us weekly. We think we have no reason to be discouraged, though the Enemy comes with all manner of deception to draw us from the present truth; but God is our defense, and he has promised that he will never leave nor forsake us, and his promise is sure, for all his words are truth. He has been a Supporter and Friend, and we will trust his promise to keep us in all the way. Yours waiting for the Saviour.

Delhi, Mich., Feb. 10th, 1856. Note,—We welcome the above into our columns as an expression of the Church in Delhi. They have of late been somewhat divided and unsettled on account of the introduction into their midst of Age to Come views; but we are happy to say that through the faithful labors of Bro. Waggoner, in that place, they are now settled and united in the truth, with the exception of Eld. Curry, who is not in unison with the body. We deem it our duty here to say, that while he occupies his present position and unscriptural views of the future Age, lately christened as the Gospel of the Kingdom, disunion and confusion will naturally follow his steps among the scattered flock. The Church in Locke, Mich., have also been in a similar position from the same cause; but we are glad to learn from Bro. Waggoner, that they also are recovering from its dire effects.—Ed.
