Communications from Minnesota and Ohio
Bro. L. Bartholomew writes from Medford, Min.: “As I read the letters in the Review from week to week, I feel that my spiritual strength is renewed. I notice the names of some with whom I was acquainted in the East, and I feel that I would add my testimony on the side of truth. I often think of what Paul said in relation to speaking to the edifying of the church. It seems to me that by the communications in the Re-view the whole church is edified. “Brethren and sisters, let us wake up and do our duty in the fear of God. I feel to praise God to-day that he ever inclined the heart of Bro. Morse to come and settle here in this new State. There are several families here who have been brought to a knowledge of the truth through his instrumentality. There are now ten families who meet at Deerfield to worship on the Sabbath, and are trying to get the victory over the beast and his image.” Bro. H. Miller writes from Oneida Mills, Carroll Co., Ohio: “There are a few of us living here as it were in a remote corner of the earth where wickedness abounds. We have no preaching, except the Review and Instructor, and I feel very thankful that we have a medium through which the brethren can communicate their thoughts to each other. “Dear brethren and sisters, I feel my weakness and unworthiness, and my prayer is that God may give me a meek and quiet spirit that I may at last be an overcomer by keeping the commandments of God and having the faith of Jesus, and so have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. I rejoice in God when I think of those great promises that he has promised to them that serve him. I have a hope that the Lord may direct some one this way, for we are living where we have never heard the third angel’s message preached but once. May God by his Spirit guide us into all truth.”
