J. E. TITUS

By J. E. Titus

From Bro. Titus.

BRO. SMITH: There is quite an interest in this place in favor of the Lord's Sabbath. Two men have acknowledged themselves fully tested, yet claim that they are for the present bound. If they cut loose, I think others will follow. Our foes are all awake. Ridicule is heaped upon the honest "truth-seeker," the usual slanders against the "Millerites," retailed, and finally the "divine origin of the First-day Sabbath," is made the test, in admitting members into the only church in this vicinity, where they have regular preaching. I was told that two were thus admitted last Sunday, one an Irish Catholic, and without even a pretended conversion at that.

I am endeavoring to get right, so that my influence may tell more on the side of truth. I find that I have much time to redeem. Were it not for such passages as Joel ii, 32; Rev. xxii, 17; Isa. i, 18, I should have little hope. My hope is in the Lord, who in great mercy brought me into the present truth. I shall let my feeble light shine, but it is evident we shall need help soon. We may be found four miles north-east of Leslie village.

Yours in the "little while."

P. S. Since writing the above one of the two I spoke of has decided for the truth. J. E. T.
