TRUMAN RAMSEY

By Truman Ramsey

From Bro. Ramsey.

DEAR BRO. WHITE : It cheers my heart to read the many cheering testimonies from the brethren and sisters throughout the land; and while they are thus giving their hearty responses to the truth, I would not lie slumbering in these perilous times, but say I am striving to make some advancement toward the heavenly kingdom. When quite young I thought I ought to be religious; but, like the majority of mankind, kept putting it off, thinking when I got older and settled in life, then I would serve God. O how wrong! Youth is the time in which to commence to serve the Lord. Now as I see we are living near, very near, the end, I would arouse myself, gird on the whole armor, and withstand the fiery darts of the evil one daily.

I hail with joy the weekly visits of the Review. How we ought to pray God to remember the Review, and more especially those that have the oversight of it. I feel glad when I read so many good pieces written by the brethren on present truth. It is certainly a great blessing from the right source. How is it that some of the brethren seem to have lost their interest in writing for the Review? O that God's people may see the great importance of being more earnestly engaged, the time in which they have to work being so short. I think there are many who rejoice in Ohio now, since the churches have been fully organized. We can now see who seems to be on the Lord's side. God grant us better and happier days in Ohio, in time to come. We feel very thankful to Bro. Cornell for the labor he has done in Ohio the past winter. We would be very glad to have him labor with the tent the coming summer, but we will be satisfied with any one the Lord may send. May the blessing of God rest upon all his people for Jesus' sake.

Yours in hope.
