PHREMAN, & POLLY ROBINSON

By Phreman and Polly Robinson

From Bro. & Sr. Robinson.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: Let us strive a little longer for the prize which is at the end of the race. With shame and deep contrition of heart do we confess our lukewarmness and backslidings from God; but we do thank his great name that we yet have hope in his mercy. O how solemnly touching is the appeal of our blessed Saviour, who by his Spirit is making his last call, who is knocking at the door of our hearts. We want to be zealous and repent, and turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and lay all on the altar of God that we may possess the gold tried in the fire, and the white raiment which is the righteousness of the saints. What a great work must yet be done for us ere we shall be ready to meet our coming Lord. It is time, high time for us to earnestly seek that needed preparation, humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, seek meekness and righteousness that we may be hid in the day of the Lord's fierce anger. We can truly say that time looks short to us, and we are determined by the assisting grace of God to overcome, that we may receive the refreshing when it comes from the presence of the Lord.

The brethren and sisters here are striving to arise.

Yours waiting for the kingdom.

PHREMAN, & POLLY ROBINSON
