A Call for Church Organization
By Eliza Burbee
Bro. White: I esteem it a privilege, to speak a few words through the columns of the Review, to the dear brethren and sisters scattered abroad. How I love the weekly visits of this paper, as it comes laden with the precious truths of the third angel's message. I realize to some extent, the times in which we are living. I think it is high time to awake and put on the whole armor of God, that we may be prepared to withstand the temptations which we are daily called to meet. I feel that there is much for me to do, before I shall be permitted to stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion. I feel thankful that I have had the present truth sounded in my ears, and that my heart has been open to receive it. I want to be cleansed from all sin, that I may share the joys of the earth made new. What a glorious thought! No sin, no sorrow, no parting there! How it cheers our drooping spirits, when friends forsake and the cold world frowns upon us!47Dear brethren and sisters, let us strive to overcome that we may meet in our Father's house on high. Our little society has been shaken, and we see the necessity of organization. A large majority of the Sabbath-keepers here are desirous of uniting with the body in their journey to the celestial city. Cannot a messenger be sent here for our benefit?
