M. W. PORTER

By M. W. Porter

From Bro. Porter.

BRO. SMITH :—I am yet trying to keep the Commandments of God, but I find I have the world and the flesh to contend with; and in the midst of surrounding besetments I many times do things that I ought not to do, and leave undone things that I ought to do; but my determination is to go forward, trusting in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Since 1842 I have been a member of the M. E. Church, until I became acquainted with the Advent faith through the Review about one year since; and it seems to me that I have enjoyed more of the love of God shed abroad in the heart, than ever before. My desire is to be doing something to advance the cause of truth, and also to honor and glorify God in every thought and action.

Dear brethren and sisters, let us be doing; let us labor to enter into that rest. How reasonable it is that every true Christian should love the appearing of the meek and lowly lamb of God. They can look up and say, Even so, come Lord Jesus, come quickly.

Brethren and sisters, we crave an interest in your prayers. If some lecturing brother could come this way and labor for a short time, quite a number I think would embrace the truth.

Yours in hope of eternal life.
