Buying Gold Tried in the Fire
Bro. H. Bowen writes from Liverpool, N. Y.: "It is truly cheering that there is a way provided whereby we can read each other's faith, hope and love. Dear brethren, we feel the sharp, cutting reproof to the Laodicean church. The counsel is to buy gold tried in the fire that we may be rich. Dear brethren, this counsel is not from poor, short-sighted, fallible man, but it is from the all-seeing, infallible Son of God. "Dear brethren, my prayer is that we individually may know this infallible Counsellor, and buy of him gold tried in the fire. We have of late been refreshed in the spirit of our minds by the coming of our beloved Brn. F. Wheeler and S. W. Rhodes, who delivered to us the Third Angel's Message and its kindred truths, which we believe has had a good effect, especially on the church in this place. May the Lord reward them for their labor of love to us."
