A Call to Laodicean Zeal

By Stephen H.; Achsah Brown

From Bro. & Sr. Brown.

Bro. Smith: The Review and Herald has ever been a welcome messenger to us. We prize it much for the truth it advocates and the cheering communications from the dear saints. We feel like pressing our way on to the heavenly city, being fully persuaded that the reward [Rev. iii, 21; xxii, 14] is well worth all things pertaining to this world. When we enlisted about a year and a half since in our heavenly Master's service we enlisted for a warfare, and we are determined by God's grace assisting to be more zealous and fight on till we are discharged, or victory is won.

Dear brethren and sisters we fully believe that the message to the Laodiceans applies to us as a people, and represents our true condition. O then let us heed the admonition of the dear Saviour and be zealous and repent that our sins may be blotted out, that we may be numbered among those that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus and have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city.
