SOLOMON MYERS

By Solomon Myers

From Bro. Myers.

BRO. SMITH: We notice lately but few letters published in the Review. And we must say that when we take up the Review and look for communications from the brethren and sisters and find so few, it creates a feeling of disappointment. It is a pleasure, it is encouraging, to see a goodly number of letters every week, all speaking a strong love for the present truth, and a firm determination to persevere until the victory is won. This has brought me to think possibly I had neglected my duty in this respect, and perhaps it was possible that some lone pilgrim might be cheered on by something that I might say, although I feel my incapacity to write for the edification of any one. Let me say then to those with whom I have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance, my purpose is still to persevere, to overcome, to obtain the prize which is at the end of the race.

To those with whom I have never had the pleasure of a personal acquaintance I would say, my heart beats in unison with all those who love the law of God, and are striving to keep his commandments that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter through the gates into the city. It is becoming more and more evident that the victory is not to be an easy one, for the enemy seems determined to dispute every inch of our way; and if we get the victory, it will cost a constant struggle, for we fight not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness in high places. But let us be encouraged, for now is our salvation nearer than ever before.
