Awake and Engaged in the Cause
Bro. Lewis Martin writes from Bennington, N. H., April 15th, 1856:—"I desire to see God's people24more awake, and more engaged in the cause of our dear Redeemer, who has done so much for us. I truly feel the need of being more awake in my Master's cause. I often look back to 1844. God was with us then; we then felt to let go of the world, and its fashions too. I think there is too much pride and worldly mindedness among our Seventh-day brethren and sisters. May the Lord work mightily for his people, and help them all to get right. We must get into a place where we shall fear God more, and the world less, and get more persecution. We are living in a dangerous time: the world flatters, and so does the Devil. May God help his people to gird on the whole Christian armor."
