By H. Crosby

From Bro. Crosby.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: For the first time I would say to the brethren and sisters through the Review, that I am striving to overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony. It has been almost two years since I commenced keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus; and in keeping them I feel that there is great reward. I can truly say that the Lord is good. He is still reviving his work here, and is adding to our number such as we trust shall be saved. We have our weekly prayer-meeting at the meeting-house at Avon, every Sabbath, in which we have a large assemblage of commandment-keepers.

We have kept up prayer-meetings at our house Tuesday and Sabbath evenings about fifteen months, in which the Lord has greatly blessed us. When we commenced, there were only myself and companion, and two others. But our number has been increasing, till now the room is crowded with Sabbath-keepers. Last Thursday evening at a prayer-meeting at Bro. Johnson's, three took a decided stand to go with the remnant people to mount Zion; and at our house Sabbath evening, the Spirit of the Lord was with us, and we had a rejoicing time. We felt so much of the power of God, that we all praised and glorified his name. Four that never made any profession of religion told their determination to keep the commandments of God and prepare for the coming of Jesus.

May the Lord help us to be faithful to our profession and let our light so shine that more may be added to our number. I am determined to give up all to the Lord, that I may receive a crown of life at his appearing.

Yours in hope of eternal life.
