Trials Before the People of God
By S. R. Twist
Bro. White: As we are exhorted to speak often to each other, and many of us have no other way to do so except through the Review, I will add my testimony, as I wish at all times to be found in the performance of every known duty. I can say that I would rather suffer with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. I am trying, and ever expect to, to keep all of God's commands. It looks dark to me when I look into the future. It looks as though we had got nearly to the Red Sea. It looks as though the Conscript Act would bring us into a position where we could not keep the whole law. Let us trust in our heavenly Father, who cares for us more than earthly parents do for their children. Let us stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. We must expect trials and persecutions. I believe it is for our good. It tries our faith; it purges out the dross, and leaves the gold pure. I am glad to hear that the message is rising. Let us all arise with it; for it is our privilege and duty. Let us hold out a little longer. The race is almost run. The City is almost in sight. There the wicked will cease from troubling and the weary be at rest. Yours in hope of eternal life when Jesus comes. Mt. Vernon, Nimiha Co., Nebraska.
