D. T. SHIREMAN

By D. T. Shireman

From Bro. Shireman.

BRO. WHITE: While I read the stirring epistles from brethren and sisters, and their experience as the Spirit of God has been leading them on to light and truth, my soul is filled from the same fountain. Of late I have been made to rejoice by seeing some starting to live out the present truth. I hope that they may prove faithful to the end. We are truly living in perilous times. Satan, the great enemy of souls, will do his utmost to keep us from getting into the kingdom. Let us be on our watch and up and doing. I want to get on higher ground.

Last Sabbath a few of us had the privilege of meeting with the brethren at Waukon. We truly had a refreshing season.

Dear brethren, let us strive to bring all the tithes and offerings into the storehouse, and seek to be living sacrifices to God, holy and acceptable, so that he can use us as he will. May we be always ready to do or suffer for him so that we may reign with him in glory. Let us lay aside every idol. The religion of Christ is worth everything. Let us serve him always with an eye single to his glory.

Dear brethren, I humbly ask an interest in your prayers that I may overcome all my sins, keep all the commandments of God, and adorn the profession I make with a holy life and a godly conversation, and at last be found with the remnant that shall stand on the sea of glass.
