“Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another.”
From Bro. Newton.
Bro. Smith: I am striving to make a covenant with the Lord by sacrifice, and have great reason to praise him for his goodness in permitting me to hear the third angel's message. It has been about one year and eight months since I heard Bro. Sanborn speak on the Sabbath in Illinois. I still feel to praise the Lord for then letting me see the truth with a desire in my heart to obey it. My prayer was, Lord, lead me in the right way, and grant me thy grace and I will walk in it. I believe he has thus far. I have also received strength to overcome the use of tobacco.
I hope to learn of Christ daily, and follow the leadings and teachings of the Holy Spirit. I wish to suffer with Christ in trials and afflictions, that I may be tried, made white and purified; then I shall appear with him in glory. Brethren, let us give heed to the many admonitions Christ has given us, lest we fall of entering into that rest.
