Encouragement from the Scattered Flock
By J. F. Case
Bro. Smith: I would say that the church here are struggling for freedom, and appear to be rising. There are also signs of the latter rain. Praise God! We have enjoyed some heavenly seasons lately while assembled for the worship of God, and have learned by blessed experience that it is a good thing to serve the Lord. Truly he hath led us in a way that we knew not of. Praise him, O my soul! It is truly cheering to the hungry soul to read the epistles of the brethren and sisters which have so much of the Spirit of Christ in them; and I can say for one that I thank the Lord for the privilege of conversing with the scattered flock through the Review. I find something in every communication that encourages me to persevere in the narrow path. The communication from brother E. L. Barr had, I trust, a good effect upon me, and I rejoice that God is working for Israel. My prayer is that the work may go on until the church stands out in the sunlight of God's truth. Yours striving to overcome. J. F. Case. Monterey, Mich., March 17th, 1857.
