By A. H. Robinson

From Bro. Robinson.

Bro. SMITH: I have thought the inquiry might at times arise in your mind, what is the church in Jefferson Co. doing? What fruit are they bearing? I would say, I think there is a rising in the church. Some are making an effort to heed the counsel of the faithful and true Witness. Still I am satisfied that we are not moving fast enough, as a whole, would we keep in the light of the Third Angel.

While I read the embarrassing state of things at the Office it makes me feel bad, and I am satisfied that when we fully heed the counsel of the faithful and true Witness, you will hear from us in such a way as will make your heart glad. The calls through the paper will not pass by unheeded. I long to see the time when the remnant will not make so many excuses, and find so many ways for their means aside from the cause of present truth. It has seemed to me for some time that there should be an earnest pleading for the Lord to open the way before us, and accept our means to use it for his glory.

I want to express my gratitude to you and all connected with the Office, for sending me the paper. I love its weekly visits, and think I know how to prize it. I can remember you in my prayers. The cause of present truth lies near my heart, and I am struggling for victory, to share in the blessings that shall be given to those that finally overcome.
