By L. H. Russell

From Bro. Russell.

DEAR BRO. WHITE : I feel very thankful for the light I have received on present truth. I feel that I cannot be too grateful to God for showing me his truth. Since I embraced the third angel's message I have, by the assisting grace of God, overcome tobacco, tea, and coffee. Brethren and sisters, let us deny ourselves of all ungodliness, and turn to the Lord with our whole hearts, and make clean work of our repentance. The Lord will not accept a lame sacrifice. He requires the whole heart. So let us cleanse ourselves that we can enjoy the presence of our Saviour.

I am thankful that the Lord is reviving his work among the remnant, and that he will make a short work on the earth. It becomes us to get on the whole armor, and keep it bright by constant use. May the Lord help us to ever keep in our proper places, so that we can hear his voice and obey his call. I am thankful that so many of the remnant are heeding the voice of the true Shepherd. We were thankful for a visit from Bro. Sanborn, and for his setting things in order. May the Lord help us to take every means to get rid of, and keep out, the scattering influence that has been at work in Wisconsin. My prayer is that the Lord may keep us until his coming, and save us all in his everlasting kingdom. Brethren, pray for me and mine, that we may be ready for the Lord.
