Choosing the Service of the Lord
By Moses W. Porter
Bro. Smith:—I consider it the duty of every sincere lover of God to stand as a living witness for him and his truth; therefore I will write a few lines to let you know that I have chosen the service of the Lord, and am determined, by his help, to keep his commandments. I feel truly to thank the blessed Lord that the Review ever has fallen into my hands. I seldom read its pages without raising my heart to God in thanks anew for the glorious truths that it presents. Scriptures that looked dark to me, it has brought to the clearest light. What child of God could doubt for a moment but that the Holy Spirit has a hand in its publication? I love the cause in which you are engaged; and my daily prayer is, that God may pour out his richest blessing upon you; and may we be wholly given up to the service of God. Then we shall obtain immortality through Jesus Christ when he comes to make up his jewels. Moses W. Porter. Min Ter., Feb. 25th, 1856.
