COMMUNICATIONS.

By B. F. Weed

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

From B. F. Weed.

BRO. SMITH:—I feel to praise the Lord that he has opened my eyes in these last days to let me see, and not only me, but my companion also, the truth of the Third Angel's Message. We trust the Lord has called out a people here to stand before him at his coming, although the dragon is wroth with them that keep the Commandments of God and have the Faith of Jesus. But Satan with all his forces cannot hinder them; for Christ is our Shepherd, and he will watch over his flock. We are going forward in the strength of the Lord. I feel myself one of the least of the followers of the Lamb; but I want a place with them that keep the Commandments and have the Faith of Jesus. My prayer is that the Lord will send forth more laborers into the field; for the harvest is plenteous and the laborers are few.
I praise the Lord that he directed Bro. Hutchins this way last Winter to preach the truth to us. I believe the Lord blessed his labors. Brn. Sperry and Buck preached to us in the tent this Summer; and we had a good time. The Spirit of the Lord was with us.
How important it is that we should keep all the Commandments of God; for if we fail in the least, we are guilty of the whole. Brethren, I am aware that the remnant have many trials to pass through, and we need to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth that we may have strength to withstand what is shortly to come to pass. How it cheers my heart to know that we have the truth. God is revealing his truth to his children. I am glad that he has seen fit to send his messengers this way to open our eyes to the truth, and may the Lord help us and keep us in the truth, that we may be bright and shining ornaments before the world, that we may in keeping all the Commandments have an entrance through the gates into the City and walk the golden streets.
