“Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another.”
From Bro. Lamson.
Bro. SMITH: Perhaps it may be of some interest to you, to hear how the cause is prospering in this place. The meetings held here by Brn. White and Loughborough, have resulted in some good.
The word that was spoken by them has taken root in some hearts, and they have decided to keep all of the commandments, that finally they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city. There are others that are almost persuaded that we have the truth. Others say, "Where have you kept yourselves, that I havn't heard of this people before? If this is truth, it ought to be cried through the streets."
The influence of the no-Sabbath keepers is felt some, as they try to prejudice minds against those who have been instrumental in bringing out the light of present truth; but their folly is made manifest unto all.
The Lord has been pleased to manifest himself to us by his holy Spirit, as we meet to call upon his holy name, showing his willingness to hear the prayers of those that keep his commandments, and strive to walk in his statutes blameless.
Some were not fully established in the truth when the brethren left us, and we have had several Bible classes a week, which has been beneficial to us all in getting a better understanding of God's word.
We need the labors of some one here very much. Will not Bro. Andrews come this way soon? His labors would be appreciated by the brethren, and no doubt blessed of the Lord.
May the Lord lead us into all truth, help us discharge every duty, and save us finally in his everlasting kingdom, is the prayer of your unworthy brother.
