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

From Bro. Sargent.

BRO. SMITH: It having been my happy lot to embrace the third angel's message last August under the preaching of Brn. Cornell and Snook, I am now trying to practice the principles that I have espoused, in every day life, feeling determined to be among that number which will overcome all and be counted worthy to escape the things that shall come upon the earth. I feel the great requirements of God upon us to become entirely consecrated to his service, "For without holiness of heart no man shall see the Lord." I know I have much to do to conquer the vile thoughts of my heart, and fully reconcile myself to the will of the Lord, yet I feel thankful to God that he has done so much for me in permitting me to embrace the last message that he is to give to this world. O, I feel to praise his holy name with all my soul. I hope the brethren and sisters will remember me when before the Lord in prayer, that I may be ready when Jesus comes, to appear faultless before the throne of God.
From your brother in hope of the kingdom. P. V. SARGENT.
