Growing in Grace and Truth
Bro. S. G. Cottrell writes from Mill Grove, N. Y.: "The little church here I trust are growing in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. There are some that are investigating, and soon I hope will make a right decision. We feel sorry for some that have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the world to come, that have got entangled and we fear will be overcome; but there must be also heresies among us that they which are approved may be made manifest. The Lord is truly purifying to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works; and he will cause them to pass under the rod, and bring them into the bond of the covenant, and will purge out the rebels and them that transgress against him. Truly God is good to Israel Bless his name, he will deliver his saints in the last final struggle with the enemy."
