The Third Angel’s Message
By D. T. Ingalls
BRO. SMITH: I would like to say through the Review that I am thankful that the Lord sent some of his servants this way with what I humbly believe to be present truth. In these dark and perilous times the light of the Third Angel's Message is truly great. I saw that there was a breach made in the law, and I rejoice that I ever had a desire to come out and take a decided stand with the little remnant which I humbly believe are to be the restorers of the breach; and rejoice that I saw there was another angel to follow the first two, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, he cannot be one of the number to stand on mount Zion with the one hundred and forty and four thousand that shall be redeemed from the earth. There are a little few here, I trust, who are trying to live out the Commandments of God and the Faith and testimony of Jesus: and while we receive scoffs and sneers and have all manner of evil said against us, my prayer is that it may be "falsely for Christ's sake," and that we may lift up our heads and rejoice, knowing that our redemption draweth nigh. O praise God forever for this truth, that is like an anchor to the soul both sure and steadfast that enters to that within the vail! O that I may have on the whole armor and have my loins girded with the truth, that I may be ready and waiting for the Lord at his appearing, that I may have a right to the tree of life and enter in through the gates into the city! Your unworthy brother.
