A Growing Church in Brownsville
By Charlotte Cryderman
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: Our little church all feel to rejoice that we ever heard the Third Angel's Message, and for the religion that makes us feel such love to God and our brethren and sisters. We all praise God for the glorious work that he has done in this place. There was a great interest during Bro. Frisbie's course of lectures, and there is still a great interest here. When Bro. Frisbie left, there were forty-four that were keeping the Sabbath, and there have three more embraced it since, which makes forty-seven believers in the present truth. For my own part I know that this is the work of the Lord; for God owns and blesses his dear children in receiving the message. I feel that in my soul which the world can neither give nor take away. Our weekly prayer-meeting last Tuesday evening was such as I never before attended. It seemed that the whole room was filled with the presence of God. Never did I feel so much of the love of God shed abroad in my heart as at this meeting. All praised God aloud. Brethren pray for us, that the faith we now have fail not. Yours striving for the kingdom.
CHARLOTTE CRYDERMAN.
