FRED. KUNDERT

By Fred. Kundert

From Bro. Kundert.

BRO. WHITE: I feel very thankful to the Lord for the light of the present truth, and often rejoice in the Lord that the truth looks so plain and clear to me. Reading the Review, I feel every time encouraged by the cheering testimonies from the brethren and sisters scattered abroad. I believe the day of the Lord hasteth greatly, and the world is coming to an end. Jesus soon will come forth on the white cloud with his sharp sickle to reap the harvest of the earth, which is nearly ripe. The saying of our dear Saviour will soon be fulfilled: "Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." The history of this earth will soon be finished.

But, brethren and sisters, I understand also that the people of God have a great work to do yet before they can escape all these things that are coming on the earth. I believe that the loud cry of the third angel's message is soon to go forth, and that before the people of God can be entrusted with this work, they must come to perfect union of faith, sentiment, and spirit. God's people must press together, cast aside all their little difficulties, and humble themselves before the Lord God. May the God of patience and consolation grant us to be like-minded one toward another, after the example of Christ Jesus, that we with one mind and one mouth may glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and may we all be one, as Jesus Christ and the Father are one.

How merciful, dear brethren and sisters, has our heavenly Father been in showing us his precious truth, and in warning us before of the coming perils of the last days. O let us now hasten to do all that God requires us to do, while the time to seek salvation lasts. May the Lord assist us with his grace.

Yours striving for eternal life.
