A Letter on Present Truth
By J. Lindsey
Bro. Smith:—The cause of present truth is still my delight; and it is a comfort and consolation to hear from the dear brethren and sisters through the Review, that are scattered abroad; and to hear of their steadfastness. How thankful we should be that God is mindful of his people and his cause, and will not suffer them to move faster than they move right. Truly we are living, we are dwelling, in a grand and awful time, and we need to have our lamps trimmed and burning. How necessary that we make that preparation that we shall need to stand before the Son of man. Says Jesus, Take heed to yourselves lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. I mean, by the grace of God assisting, to be an overcomer, and stand on the mount Zion. I can say that I love the truth still, and those dear brethren who have borne the burden and heat of the day, and my prayer is that the Lord will still sustain them. We have been in this place about two months, and have had some interesting and I trust profitable meetings. There are twenty-three Sabbath-keepers here, and we have meetings every Sabbath. We had a good season last Sabbath in attending the ordinances of the Lord's house. I hope there are some in this region who will yet see and feel the importance of keeping all the Commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus. I have been scattering publications among those who are willing to read.
