Standing Alone for the Truth
By G. P. Cushman
Bro. Smith : I feel truly thankful to my heavenly Father for his goodness to me in ever having thoughts of mercy towards me, unworthy of the least of his mercies and blessings. I prize the Review, which is the only beacon light I have, pointing us, according to the word of God, to the last solemn warning of the Third Angel's Message. And do I realize it? I think not, as I did when I first embraced it. Still I have not wholly lost sight of the Message, and I feel to thank the Lord that I have a desire to arise and obtain the gold tried in the fire, white raiment, &c. I have to stand alone here to tread the thorny path of truth; yet I am not discouraged. I mean to stick to the right and stand for the truth as far as in me lies. Yours hoping to overcome.
