MARSHALL EDSON

By Marshall Edson

From Bro. Edson.

BRO. SMITH: I feel thankful for the Review, and for the many admonitions and warnings that it comes laden with weekly. Brethren and sisters, are we heeding these solemn warnings as we should? Are the great and blessed truths of the Third Angel's Message settling as deep into our hearts as they should? Do they have that effect upon our lives and daily walk that they should have? When I look back on days gone by, and see how unfaithful I have lived, how far beneath my privilege and duty, I tremble and fear lest I should at last fail of an entrance into the kingdom; but I do feel now like starting anew. I want to go with the remnant to Mount Zion. I feel that I must go through, I cannot stop short of this; and in the strength of God, I feel that I can go through. Oh how solemn the time in which we live! Do we realize it? Brethren and sisters, are we living out our faith? Are we doing all we can to get the truth before others? O let us wake up to our duty. I feel like girding on the armor anew, and striving harder to overcome, and show by my works that I believe what I profess.

Your brother striving to overcome.
