Growing Stronger in the Faith
By A. G. Phelps
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—It is with pleasure that I address a few lines to you to acknowledge the receipt of that valuable paper, the Review, and contribute my mite for its support. It is read in my family with great pleasure, and I trust profit. We also think the Instructor is the right kind of a paper for the young. We pray the Lord to sanctify it to the good of the children of the remnant. The little band in this place are growing stronger in the Faith, striving to keep all the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ. We are surrounded with bitter opposers to the Advent, and they manifest still more hatred against the Sabbath of the Lord; but none of these things move us. We feel determined, by the assisting grace of God, to overcome every besetment, and every wrong word, thought and action, and get the victory over the beast and over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, that we may stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb. We ask the prayers of God’s people. Your unworthy brother, A. G. Phelps. Packwaukie, Mich., Sept. 29th, 1853.
