I am still holding on to the promises of God, believing what the prophets by the Holy Ghost have spoken. I love God, and I love to keep his Commandments. Thank his blessed name! Yes, I love to serve him; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
I praise his holy name that two or three in this vicinity have recently embraced the Sabbath of the Lord our God. I am expecting that God will give us more who will keep the Commandments of God in these ends of the earth if we are faithful to him and his cause.
The God that made the heavens and the earth in six days, and rested on the seventh from all his work, is a God who will hear and answer prayer, when we come aright before him in faith, nothing wavering; but we ask and receive not, doubtless sometimes, because we do not hold on by faith.
We have no preaching here. I have not seen any of the traveling brethren since Bro. Bates left us last Winter. I think that if some one of the preaching brethren would come this way, who could present the truth in its clear light before the people, some would embrace it. The inquiry is often made, "Why don't some of your preachers come along? I want to hear them," &c.
There are some in this vicinity who are investigating, and want light on the subject of the Second Advent, and its kindred doctrines. Who will come over and help us? Are not the sinners in Wisconsin worth saving? Yes: God's mercy is over all his works. Come in the name of the God of the armies of Israel; and may God give the Message of the Third Angel a new impulse.
Yours in hope of immortality at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, when he shall come without sin unto salvation to them that look for him.
