COMMUNICATIONS.

By A. R. Morse

"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another."

From Bro. Morse.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS:—My experience for more than thirty years in the cause of Christ has taught me the importance of living where my mind will be fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I often think of the First Angel's Message—how we did but little else than search the word of God, and have all on the altar, and strive with all our might to be in readiness for the revelation of Jesus Christ from heaven.

Those days I think of with pleasure. They linger with sweetness in my mind. That scene of holy consecration I do not forget.

I think often of those dear brethren that were with us in the former messages. God grant they may see the light on the Third Angel's Message, and share with us the heavenly inheritance. How gloomy and dark was the scene after the time had passed! and how sweet and cheering was the light of present truth! It justifies the past, and lights up our way through to the glorious inheritance.

Dear brethren, we are now more than ten years from the commencement of the last note of warning to this fallen world. I would ask the solemn question. Are we doing all we can for the welfare of our fellow-men, in warning those that are without God and without hope in the world, of the soon-coming storm of God's wrath on the wicked; and to encourage the poor, tried and afflicted children of God. What an awful moment is this in which we live! All we do must be done soon. Brethren, let us gird on the armor anew, as we never have before. I hope to hear often through the Review from those dear brethren who have gone West. A. R. MORSE.
