By H. M. Kenyon

From Bro. Kenyon.

BRO. SMITH: The truth is still precious to me. It is more than my meat or drink to do my Master's will. My heart is encouraged when I see the signs fulfilling which portend that Jesus' coming is near at hand. How important it is that we as a people, professing faith in Jesus Christ, take heed to all the requirements of God, to make our calling and election sure, while probation is still lengthened out, while our High Priest intercedes in our behalf.
It is evident that we are in, or near, the time when God's people are to be mightily shaken. We see some that once bid fair to endure the trials in the way, and go through to the mount Zion, turning away from the faith, and being turned unto fables. But the word of the Lord says, He that endureth to the end the same shall be saved. This is enough to encourage the faithful pilgrim on his way. Though Satan may assail us, and bring all his forces to bear against us, we have nothing to fear, for the Lord has promised that when the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
We find many promises in the precious Bible for our encouragement. Though we may be tempted, we have the promise that it shall not be above that we are able to bear, and that we have an High Priest, one that has been tempted in all points like as we are, and that he will succor those that are tempted. The promises of God look better to me than ever before.
My faith grows stronger and stronger as we near the coming of our Saviour. My heart rejoices even while I write. The Life-giver is coming. Soon those that sleep in Jesus will come forth, the living saints be changed and caught up to meet their Lord in the air. Blessed hope! Glorious prospects are before the remnant!
Yours striving for the kingdom.
