"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another."
From Bro. Upson.
BRO. SMITH: I would say to you and others who love and obey the present and testing truth, and keep God's holy Sabbath according to the commandment and the other nine precepts which constitute the moral government of Jehovah, let them ever be our rule of faith and practice, that we may be prepared for the coming and kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I hope by the grace of God to be an overcomer and meet you in glory. I believe the message to the Laodicean church is meat in due season, and applies to the true church or the remnant of the seed of the woman that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Let us be zealous and repent, and overcome our lukewarmness that our Saviour may come in and sup with us and we with him, that we may get the promise and sit with him on his throne.
I am glad the church are about to start a Power Press. I hope it may be put in operation and the Third Angel's Message go forth in the power and demonstration of the spirit, until the one hundred and forty-four thousand get their Father's name in their foreheads and are without fault before the throne of God. God will have a sanctified people before there can be a translated people. Our Saviour prayed that his Disciples might be sanctified through his Father's truth. His word was truth. Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God. We cannot study our Bibles too much. We not only want the shield of faith, but the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, that we may be able to quench the fiery darts of the wicked.
In talking with some in regard to the Sabbath truth and the necessity of keeping the seventh day, they will get off by saying they wish they knew which the seventh day was and they would keep it. I think if they were honest they might know. I think they will know when the first angel pours out his vial upon the earth, if they do not before. I feel that the Third Angel's Message is everything at this present time to the saints of the living God. The truth must be pressed home to the hearts and consciences of men, and it will bear away the victory.
