LETTERS.

By P. H. Cady

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

From Bro. Cady.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I wish to say to the dear saints scattered abroad that I am still striving to overcome this wicked world, and wish to move in harmony with the third angel's message, believing it to be present truth, and the last message of mercy this guilty world will ever hear.

I feel that I can not praise my heavenly Father enough for opening my eyes to see wondrous things out of his law. I feel to thank him for his long-suffering unto me a poor sinner, in opening my eyes to see that I was walking according to the traditions of men, instead of the commandments of God.

Dear brethren and sisters, let us be careful to heed the counsels of God's immutable word, also the warnings and admonitions of his chosen servants who are called to give the household of faith meat in due season. Who would not be willing to lay aside tea, coffee, tobacco, hoops, and all other superfluities, for the sweet assurance and consolation of sacrificing in the cause of Christ? None, I believe, but such as are joined to their idols, and of such it will soon be said, Let them alone.

I am fully in harmony with the body on the subject of organization and church order. In short, I have no disposition to find fault with those whom God has placed at the head of this work. I hope by the assisting grace of God to be found in my proper place, and finally to stand with you on mount Zion.

P. H. CADY.
