WM. D. SHARPE

By William D. Sharpe

From Bro. Sharpe.

BRO. SMITH: I can truly say that I feel to rejoice in the truth of the Third Angel's Message, which brought me to see my lost and undone condition, and the necessity of securing for myself that glorious immortality which is promised to those that keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus. There are seven Sabbath-keepers in this place. We met together on the last Sabbath, and Brn. Rhodes and Holt were present. They gave us some encouraging remarks, and we had a refreshing season from the presence of the Lord. I believe the signs of the times tell that Jesus' coming is near, even at the doors.

It cheers my heart to read the precious promises contained in God's word. The Lord has said, Return unto me, and I will return unto you. This is a glorious promise. O that the Lord would help me to live in such a way and manner as will be well pleasing to him. He has also said, Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. O that the Lord would help me to be more diligent in doing the things he has commanded me to do that I may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city.

Yours striving to overcome.
