Awakening from a Lukewarm State
By P. Conklin
Bro. Smith: I wish to say that the truth is still dear to me, and that I read the Review with interest, and I trust with profit, especially those articles on our present condition, as a people. I feel thankful that the Lord has not left us in darkness, but is showing us how wretched we are. I know that I have been in a lukewarm state for some time past, but do hope that I shall be enabled to repent and heed the warning of the true Witness, and put on the whole armor of God, having my eyes anointed that I may see clearly all the precious truths connected with the Third Angel's Message. I do feel that we are living in a very solemn time. O let us awake and be diligent to make our calling and election sure. I do feel that I would rather be a door-keeper in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness. O how my soul longs to meet once more with those of like precious faith. I have not heard a discourse on present truth since the tent-meeting in Tyrone two years ago last June. O how thankful I feel for the Review, for it brings meat in due season. Truly yours, hoping to rise with the message.
P. CONKLIN.
