LETTERS.

By W. H. Fortune

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

From Bro. Fortune.

Bro. SMITH: We are told in 1 John v, 2, "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments." John tells us that God's commandments are not grievous, and if an inspired writer gives his testimony, let us receive it. Let each one of God's children lift up their heads and rejoice that they have the privilege of living in a time when we hear the sound of the third angel's message. While the adversary is going over this earth trying to tear down the law of God, each child of God should be careful and build upon the rock.
The interest is gaining ground here through the labors of Brn. Hanners and Caldwell. There has been an addition to the church at this place of three members, and there is a fair prospect for more.
Dear brethren and sisters, pray for us that we may all meet together in that happy land where we shall have the pleasure of beholding him who died that we might have life.
Yours striving for eternal life.
W. H. FORTUNE.
