Coming Out of Babylon

By C. & A. J. Estes

From Bro. & Sr. Estes.

BRO. SMITH: Permit us through the Review to confess to our brethren and sisters, and to all that may chance to read these lines, that we have seen the error and delusion that is in the churches and feel to cry aloud. Babylon is fallen. We feel to praise God that we have heard and obeyed the solemn call, "Come out of her." This is the third Seventh-day Sabbath that we have tried to keep by the help of God. We feel that we are but children in this new faith, and beg all your prayers that we may resist all temptation and persecution like good soldiers, and ever be found with our armor on, ready at all times to fight the good fight of faith, and that we at length may receive the crown of everlasting life. We believe that the last call of mercy is now sounding, and what is done must be done quickly; for the kingdom of God is at hand. The way that we found the Advent truth was by searching the Scriptures, which are able to make us wise unto salvation.

Yours in hope of eternal life. C., & A. J. ESTES.
