By T. Bryant, Jr.

“Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another.”

From Bro. Bryant.

Bro. Smith: I feel to rejoice in the prospect that is before the people of God, of soon seeing the King in his beauty. And in view of this prospect how important that we are diligent, that we may be found of him in peace without spot and blameless! How important that we confess and forsake our sins and every false way, and become fully prepared to exercise a saving influence upon those around! I believe, dear brethren and sisters, that we each have something to do in this work of spreading the light of the third angel's message. God has chosen servants that he has called to go forth publicly with this message: this may not be our duty, but can we not greatly strengthen them for the work by supplying their needs and also by daily living the truth we profess before those around us? O let us be up and doing while the day lasts and improve every opportunity to benefit our fellow-men by setting the truth before them in publications or otherwise as the way may open, and earnestly and humbly ask the blessing of our Heavenly Father upon the effort. We believe that the present message is destined to bear away the victory, and fit a people for the coming of the blessed Saviour. O for that faith that will press through the darkness, that will surmount difficulties; a disposition to patiently labor on until our blessed Master shall return to gather his waiting ones home to their everlasting rest.

In hope of eternal life, Jay, Me. T. Bryant, Jr.
