The Cause of Truth in Benton
By S. Street
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I drop you a few lines to let you know how the cause of truth is prospering in this vicinity. There are four families besides myself in this place keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We have to fight against much opposition, but God's grace has been sufficient for our day as yet. There have been three preachers here to fight against the truth, but it is mighty and will prevail. Their arguments will not stand the test of God's word. As for my part I feel that I am daily growing in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. I embraced the truth in Feb. last, under Bro. Frisbie's labors, since which I have enjoyed more real religion than in the whole seven years that I belonged to the M. E. Church. This truly is an evidence that we have the truth, in that God's own and blesses us. I have been traveling among the brethren, and find the most of them firm in the truth; but there is a great call for help from the messengers. Truly the harvest is great but the laborers are few. Yours in hope of immortality through Christ.
S. STREET.
