SAMUEL WARNER

By Samuel Warner

From Bro. Warner.

Bro. Smith; I herein enclose to you one dollar to pay for my paper; i. e., the present volume, of which I have received No. 11, and do find them more and more interesting to me, but cannot prevail on any of my very numerous acquaintances to read them, or give them even a partial examination, after perceiving that they teach the keeping of the Sabbath of the Lord our God; and I am esteemed by some to be a very odd and stubborn man, and by the so-called orthodox, a Jewish believer, and, say they, You think to be saved by deeds of the law, and have fallen from grace; but blessed be the name of the Lord, I see and feel, in some measure, that I am in Jesus, the only ark of safety, and humbly hope to be with him at his coming, in person. Yes, in very flesh and bones as he was after his resurrection, and as he was when he ascended. Notwithstanding at times I feel myself a very great and very old sinner, and do almost think that it cannot be that my sins are all forgiven and may be blotted out; a humble look to Jesus, a supplicating look, prayer, desire, or view in faith, brings to me a blessed and renewed hope of eternal life at the coming of the Lord, and the resurrection of the just—made so in the blood of the Lamb. I send my brotherly love to all who are in Jesus in very truth, and I remain theirs, and yours, in the truest bonds of friendship, and I trust also in the love of Jesus.

P. S. If any of the brethren are traveling this way, and more especially those in the ministry, I should be gratified to have them call at No. 203. on Friendship street.
