The Truth Must Prevail
By Lewis Bean
Bro. Smith : I thank God for his truth that shines so clear in these last days. Truly the pathway of the just is as a shining way, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Thy word, says the Psalmist, is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I feel that it is good to walk in the light of that word. I feel to take courage when I look around and see, I think, omens of good to the true church of God. They are rising, I trust, never more to fall. I pity those individuals who are careless, still settling down on their lees, seemingly indifferent to their own salvation. The Lord pity them also is my prayer, and arouse them before the faithful and true Witness shall cease to counsel them. I have just returned from a short tour in Canada, visiting some of those brethren there. I found that no one had been there to visit them for about two years, and that the "Messenger" influence had been there, and they had suffered much from it, and been without the Review for a long time. But it encouraged my heart to see them trying to arise and shake themselves from that destructive influence. Praise God! the truth must and will prevail. Its march is onward. Lord, speed the message, is my prayer. Your brother hoping to be an overcomer.
