"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."

From Bro. Pennoyer.

BRO. WHITE: Being fully established that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, I feel it duty as well as a privilege to help sustain those who advocate such a doctrine. Brn. Cottrel and Andrews came here last winter and held forth some precious truths. Quite a number were moved, but few dare come out and confess it. The strong ties of sectarian influence seem to be quite sufficient to drown men in perdition.

The speedy return of our Lord and Saviour has been a most precious truth to me for about twenty years. I can say with my whole heart that I love it dearly. I can see at one glance that the prophecies of Daniel and John teach a great movement on the subject just prior to the event, so that both wise and foolish virgins will be fully manifest; that the good servant will be giving meat in due season, and the evil servant will dispute every inch of ground and instruct the people that the Lord delays his coming, but such teachers are as wells without water, clouds carried with a tempest, and such as are ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. But praise the Lord, what is darkness to some is a great light to others. Let us all be diligent that we may be found of him in peace.

Yours in love. C. PENNOYER.
