The Testimony to the Laodiceans
Bro. Wm. Lawton writes from West Winfield, N. Y.: "I did feel to say, Amen, after I had read what Bro. White said about the surface work of the testimony to the Laodiceans. I believe without a doubt that when the testimony to the Laodiceans is understood and believed, and we try to live out the testimony before our neighbors, that it will produce a great change, not only in our conversation with our neighbors and with our brethren and sisters, but I do believe that it will lead us to throw aside unnecessary articles of dress. I am perfectly satisfied that if I should try to conform to the world by burdening myself with unnecessary equipage, my brethren and sisters would say at once that Bro. Lawton professed to receive the testimony to the Laodiceans, but it had not produced so much as surface work. But I do feel to praise the Lord for the testimony to the Laodiceans, and it is the desire of my heart, so far as I know it, to understand the testimony, and be zealous and repent, and thoroughly reform; for I want to be an overcomer." "A word to every brother and sister that has the privilege of reading the Review. Brethren and sisters, I want you to remember me in your prayers that I may understand and know how to get down at the feet of my Saviour where I can receive a blessing and not be exalted, and open the door of my heart and let the Saviour in. Praise the Lord for what he is doing for the remnant. And I would ask an interest in the prayers of the friends of truth in behalf of those that have the charge of the Review, and books that are being published, for I do feel to praise the Lord that there are a few on the earth that are trying to get the truth in its purity before their fellow mortals."
