Strengthened in the Present Truth
By Margaret A. Castle
Bro. Smith: I am very thankful that the servants of God came this way with the Third Angel's Message. It is a little more than three months since Brn. Cornell and Lawrence came to this place. After the meeting had held nearly a week I thought I would go down and hear what they had to say, and it has made my heart rejoice many, many times since, that I ever heard the present truth. It is my life, my all. Although I am in the midst of trials, I feel strong in the truth. The Cause has done much here in this place. There are many standing ready to mock at every thing that is done and said; but I hope by the grace of God I shall be able to meet all these things with a christian spirit. I live a little more than two miles from the church, and do not enjoy any of the meetings, except Sabbaths; and if it were not for the Review I should have nothing to strengthen me. I beg an interest in the prayers of my brethren and sisters that I may be faithful and prepared to meet the Saviour when he comes to the great harvest of the world. Yours in the truth.
