From P. H. Cady.

Bro. Smith : I feel thankful to God for the great blessings I am daily receiving from his bountiful hand. I feel that his grace is all sufficient, and if I but put my trust in him, he will bring me off conqueror. The truth never appeared more precious to me than at the present time, and when I realize that this is the last warning this guilty world will ever bear, I feel to cry with the poet,
Fly, fly on wings of morning, Ye who the truth can tell, And sound the awful warning."
that souls may flee from Babylon, from the worship of the beast, and escape the wrath of God which will soon be poured out upon the ungodly.
The cause in Wisconsin seems to be rising. The remnant, as far as my knowledge extends, are trying to heed the counsel of the faithful and true Witness, to buy the gold, the white raiment, and the eyesalve. The labors of Brn. Waggoner and Andrews have proved a blessing. It seems the Lord is willing to save souls in Wisconsin. In Mackford, seven have lately embraced the truth, and the interest to hear is greatly increased. Good news of the same kind comes in from surrounding places. I believe it is time for the Lord to work in Wisconsin. The course that Stephenson and Hall have taken for two years past, seems to have cast a cloud over the once fair prospects of the cause in this State; but now that they have given up the Sabbath, many an honest soul is fired with new zeal, and ready to sacrifice their all in defense of the truth. Thus the way seems to be preparing for the truth to go with power. Brethren and sisters in Wisconsin, what shall we do? Shall we sit still and see the cause bleeding at every pore? No! no! Let us once more rally around the standard of present truth; let present truth be our theme; let us consecrate our time, talents, and substance to the Lord, and pray earnestly for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon us. Let us be humble and get into the place where the Lord can work again for the people. O that we may feel the importance of the time in which we are living, and the truths committed to our trust. That we may fully appreciate their importance, and live them out before the world, is my prayer.
I would say to the scattered flock generally, be of good cheer. Jesus is soon coming; yes, that blessed Jesus who gave his life a ransom for us, and is now completing his work in the heavenly Sanctuary will soon appear, the joy and rejoicing of his waiting people. Praise the Lord!
Your unworthy brother.
