A Confession of Faults.
By J. R. Towle
Bro. Smith:—I wish to make a confession to the brethren through the Review, as it is not possible for me to reach them in any other way, and as I see that I have erred and grieved some. I confess that I have not been humble enough before the Lord, and that while in Northern New York, at Plattsburg, Champlain and Buck's Bridge, my course did not edify the brethren. I am sure now, if I had walked right, they would not have been tried with me. I confess that my course was wrong, and to the grievance of the Church. My conversation was not seasoned with the grace of God. Reflection thereon brings sorrow. I want to be right, and make strait my paths before the Lord, the church, and the world. I ask the forgiveness of all the brethren that have been grieved by me, and of the Church of God as far as I am known; and I pray that I may be kept by the power of God unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
