Note from Bro. Dorcas.

By J. Dorcas

"I have but little to say at present that would be interesting or profitable, but be assured that my heart still beats in unison with the present truth. When I read that 'tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts,' I feel like saying, Let tribulation come. God is our strength and refuge, a present help in time of trouble. I rejoice to know that the Third Angel's Message is rising. Nominal Israel are being troubled in this place, and are making a combined effort to prove the divinity of their holy religion. Truth grates harshly on their ears. A revival of their feelings, and not of downtrodden truth, is manifestly their object. But I thank the Lord that I feel a determination of soul to 'contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.'" J. Dorcas.
