JOHN FISHELL, JR

By John Fishell, Jr.

From Bro. Fishell.

BRO. SMITH: The little church in Delhi feel willing and determined to take heed to the warning voice of the faithful and true Witness; that is, to be zealous and repent, and to open the door of our hearts and let the Saviour in, that he may sup with us and

we with him. We believe that the time is near when the Third Angel's Message will go with a loud cry, and we feel the importance of rising from this lukewarm state, and having our loins girt about with truth, and our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel, and get on the whole armor of righteousness, that we may be kept from the hour of temptation, and appear without fault before the throne of God.

Dear brethren and sisters, we make a good profession: let us act accordingly: let us strive together to advance the cause of truth. Though we have but two mites to give, God will accept it if we give cheerfully; for the Lord loveth the cheerful giver. Let us remember that much has been expended to get the light of present truth before us. May the Lord bless us and give us a spirit of sacrifice.
