A Practical Christian Life
By Wm. Martin
Bro. SMITH: I realize there is a work for us all to do in order to be prepared to meet our soon coming Saviour in peace. Often I have thought of speaking to the people of God through the Review and let them know that I had a love for the truth that is so plainly taught in God's word, but on account47of my circumstances, being indebted for the paper and not able to do anything without distressing my family, as I am poor, my heart would fail me. But I praise God for his goodness, and I can say as many have said, the Review is a welcome visitor. I love the views contained therein. I realize that the time has come when men will not endure sound doctrine, but are turned unto fables. My prayer to God is that we may all take good heed and be careful that our ways please the Lord. Yes dear brethren, may we realize that we are not our own, but are bought with a price, and may we yield perfect obedience to the law of God. I do realize that it is a great thing to be a practical christian. The word says without the Spirit of Christ we are none of his. May the Lord help us to worship him in Spirit and in truth is my prayer,
WM. MARTIN.
