LETTERS.

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

From Bro. Russell.

Bro. Smith: I have long thought that I would like to tell the brethren and sisters what great things the Lord has done for me. It is about a year and a half since I commenced keeping the Sabbath. The Lord has blessed me in it. There are a few here who are trying to keep the commandments, and are striving for the faith of Jesus. We have meetings every Sabbath, where we can ask God to give us his holy Spirit to help us to overcome all sin, and encourage each other in living by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. I do feel to praise the Lord that he cast my lot where I heard the third angel's message. I believe that it is preparing a people for the reception of our Lord and Master when he shall come without sin unto salvation.
Dear brethren and sisters, if I know my heart it is to live in that way that I can hear the welcome applaudit, Well done, good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of thy Lord. I want to be of that number that shall be redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb. Pray for us, that we may be bright and shining lights for God's truth.
L. H. Russell.
