A Letter from Lewis Martin
By Lewis Martin
Bro. White: It is still a pleasure and comfort to me to read the Review and Herald. I thank God for the privilege of hearing from the dear brethren scattered abroad. I feel truly to sympathize with you in your arduous labors. May the Lord give you grace and strength equal to your day. A short time since, I came across the first paper you printed, No. 1, Vol. i, of the Present Truth. I laid it up as a choice treasure. I felt to say, What hath God wrought! God has truly been merciful to his people in these last days. I still love the truth, and rejoice in it; but I do feel that I need a deeper work of grace in my heart. The time of trouble such as never was is just before us, and those only who have pure hearts and clean hands will be able to stand. May God revive his work among us, is my prayer. I have the privilege of meeting the dear saints at West Wilton occasionally, and the Lord blesses us abundantly. Two weeks ago last Sabbath we had a refreshing, comforting time there, waiting upon the Lord. Bro. Huntley, our elder, is faithful, and we have blessed, happy union among us. May the Lord increase our faith, and add to our numbers such as shall at last stand on mount Zion. We have you and sister White in kind remembrance. May the Lord bless you abundantly, and all his dear people at Battle Creek, and all through the wide field, and may he soon come and save us. Yours in love and hope.
Lewis Martin.
