HICKMAN MILLER

By Hickman Miller

From Bro. Miller.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: My heart is made to rejoice when I read in the Review from week to week the cheering epistles from the brethren and sisters. Though most of them are written by those I never have seen, yet my heart beats in unison with them. I believe we are all moved by the same truth, and that is the third angel's message. My desire is that we may become united upon present truth, and take to ourselves the name Seventh-day Adventists, that there may be union among us; for where there is union there is strength.
I am aware that there are some that object to a name for fear of becoming babylon. I have a greater fear of becoming babylon without a name. Now my brethren and sisters, if we are what we profess to be, we are more worthy of a name than any other people now living. God's people have always been called by a name, and in different ages called by different names; and at the present time I do not believe that there could be a name more appropriate to present truth than the name Seventh-day Adventists.
My prayer is that the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus may be the continual rule of our lives, and the governing principle of all our conduct. May the great Head of the church help us all to perfect holiness in the fear of the Lord.
