Preparing for the Loud Cry
By Joel H. Grandy
BRO. SMITH: Allow me to say that it is with great interest that I read the Review as it comes to us laden with the soul-cheering testimonies from the dear saints scattered abroad. There are a few of those poor despised ones in this place that are striving to keep all of the commandments of God and live out the faith of Jesus. We have meetings every Sabbath and the Lord is pleased to bless us with his presence. I believe we are now in the time when the gifts are to be restored to the church of God, the remnant. There has been a crying to God for this to be done; but I believe that before it can be done the church must have the gold, the eye-salve and the white raiment, and work in the order of God. I believe that the message will soon go with a loud cry, and I am striving to be prepared to take a part in sounding the last note of warning to this sinful world. Yours in hope of soon reigning with Jesus in the new earth.
