By I. D. VanHorn.

From Bro. VanHorn.

BRO. SMITH: I find in the Review many testimonies from the brethren and sisters which cheer my heart and raise my soul in praise and thanksgiving to my Redeemer. I praise God for the present truth. And who would not praise him, when such glorious promises are given to those who do his commandments, and are faithful unto the end?
The truth is advancing some in this place. Bro. Bates gave a course of lectures here, and the people seemed quite interested. Although there are none that have come out decided on the truth, still the people are somewhat aroused. The Bible has been taken down from the shelf, and they are searching. May God help them, that they may not search in vain.
The third angel's message comes to us with a solemn warning. May we heed it, and be ready. Here are they that keep the commandments of God. How many of them? All. Then we must keep the fourth as well as the first, and the tenth as well as the rest. We all believe this to be the present truth; then why not do all we can to carry the work forward? There are none of us who cannot cast in our mite to help on the work of the Lord. Our reward is before us, if we are only faithful to our mission. The harvest is great, but the laborers are few; therefore let us pray the Lord of the harvest that he may send forth laborers into his vineyard.
