A Well-Grounded Hope

Bro. P. Collins writes from Dartmouth, Mass. Nov. 11th, 1857. "I think the cause in our vicinity is rather on the rise. There seems to be more earnest desire to arise from this lukewarm state, and heed the admonition of the faithful and true Witness to be zealous and repent. We are truly living in perilous times, when men's hearts are failing them for fear. I have thought sometimes that we were bordering on the time of trouble. I look around at the present time, and trouble and anxiety seems to prevail in every department in this world.

"O the necessity of the saints' having a well grounded hope, that is like an anchor to the soul, reaching to that within the vail, where our high Priest is finishing the atonement. We want a strong, living faith in God, and in his word, that we may be able to pass through, and be kept in the time of trouble."
