E. LINCOLN

By E. Lincoln

From Bro. Lincoln.

BRO. SMITH: It is about three months since I first heard the Third Angel's Message, through the preaching of Brn. Holt and Cornell. I do rejoice that the light ever shone to guide my feet in the way of righteousness to eternal life. I feel my weakness, but still I feel that it is my duty to give my testimony to the faith that I have embraced. My desire is that I may grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth, and be clothed with the whole armor, that I may be able to stand in the time of trouble that is coming on the earth. I feel the necessity of watchfulness and prayer at all times, and being on our guard against the temptations and deceptions of Satan, lest we be ensnared in a moment when we think not. I rejoice that I have the privilege of worshiping God on his holy Sabbath-day that I once trampled under foot; but his mercy is great, he has shown me a way that I knew not of, and I will praise his holy name.

Brethren and sisters, let us be faithful and overcome, that we may have right to the tree of life and enter into the holy city. O let us be ready, for our Redeemer comes, and unless we are well prepared we shall not be able to stand. May we all meet him in the clouds of heaven, and forever be with the Lord.

In hope of eternal life.

E. LINCOLN

P. S. I rejoice in the principles and truths advocated in the Review. May God grant it a wide circulation.
