Embracing the Present Truth
By Lyman Gerould
Bro. Smith : I feel to praise my God for what he has done for me, poor and unworthy as I am. He has shown me the light of his holy Sabbath, for which I feel to exalt his great and excellent name. It is but a short time since I embraced the present truth, and I can truly say that I never enjoyed myself better than I have since then, and by the grace of God I am determined to run the whole length of the christian race. We are having a good time here. The church seems to be moving along towards the kingdom. O that we may all have on the wedding garment. I think there is a prospect of more going with us. There seems to be quite an interest manifested for the truth. I rejoice that I ever heard the Third Angel's Message, and that God gave me a disposition to heed it before it was too late. I feel, my brethren, that the time is short, and I want to improve every moment in trying to advance the cause of my Redeemer. Caledonia, Mich., Jan. 1st, 1858.
