LETTERS.

“Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another.”
From Bro. Moffat.
BRO. SMITH: It is now towards two years since I started for the kingdom of God by keeping the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus. As yet I am not sorry that I thought to try to obey God, though I walk very crookedly, and go in by and forbidden paths many times. Yet the Lord is full of long suffering and tender mercy, forbearing with his erring children. I have had some outward trials and many inward temptations, but the Lord has seen fit to bring me through them all, and I praise the Lord for it. I am glad and feel to praise God that the Third Angel's Message was proclaimed in my hearing, and that I had a mind to obey. I mean to try to be faithful in doing my Master's will that I may be counted worthy, when the Lord makes up his jewels that I may be spared, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
The little band here in Bowne seem to be determined to press their way on to eternal life, putting their trust in the arm of the Lord, casting their care upon him who careth for them.
Yours in hope of immortality, and eternal life. T. H. MOFFAT. Bowne, Mich.
