LETTERS.

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

From Sister Bush.

BRO. WHITE: For the first time I would say a word to the brethren and sisters. It has been four years since I commenced keeping the commandments of God, and I can say that in keeping them there is great reward. The Lord is good. I have never been sorry that I embraced the advent doctrine. I would not give the hope I have for the whole world. The world must pass away, but the word of the Lord endureth forever. I feel the necessity of entire consecration to the service of my Lord and Master, that I may be found with clean hands and a pure heart when my Saviour comes to take vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We cannot give too strict heed to the faithful and true Witness, and get the gold tried in the fire, the 'white raiment and the eye salve. May we realize the great responsibility that rests upon us as members of the body of Christ, and be up and doing. We live in a solemn time. The nations are becoming angry, and God's wrath is coming. We shall soon see the Son of man coming in power and great glory. Let us then lift up our heads and rejoice, knowing that our redemption draweth nigh. My prayer to God is that he will speed on the good work of the third angel, and prepare us for the time when it shall go forth with power. May the Lord hold the winds of heaven till the servants of God are sealed.
