SAMUEL HASKELL

By Samuel Haskell

From Bro. Haskell.

Bro. Smith: I can say, Blessed be the name of the Lord for his tender mercy in showing me the way in which I should go. Two years ago I received a few books and some papers from my friends in Green Spring. From those I learned that I was living in rebellion to that Father in heaven who is better unto us than any earthly parent. From the light of those papers and books, the advice of our friends and our Bible, my companion and myself commenced keeping the Sabbath. It was a heavy cross for us. There was not a brother within sixty miles of us; but as time has rolled on, the message has gone forth, and now within six months, societies have sprung up, and there are brethren and sisters within eight miles of us. I feel that the word of God will prevail. Let us pray the Lord to send more laborers into his harvest.

I am not sorry that I have taken a stand to do the will of him who has done so much for us. What promises he has given us! If we are faithful and keep his Commandments there is laid up for us a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Yours in hope of a better inheritance.
