By Marshall Edson

From Bro. Edson.

BRO. WHITE : It rejoices my heart to hear of the prosperity of the cause in the West; that the work of the Lord is still moving onward, and honest souls are brought into the knowledge of the truth. I feel that the cause is one, east, west, north, and south. I should be glad for one to have Bro. and sister White, and some of the other preaching brethren come this way the coming season.

Brethren in the East, let the Macedonian cry go out to the preaching brethren, Come over and help us. I feel, brethren and sisters, that it is high time that we were more awake in the cause of God. It is a good cause to be engaged in. Have we not unconverted friends and neighbors and children? Then let us take hold of the good work in earnest. The third angel's message is moving onward, and will soon go with a loud cry.

I feel thankful for what the Lord is doing in these last days; that he is leading out a people and fitting them for translation. I want to be among the little few who will be ready to meet Jesus when he comes. I want some humble place among God's children. I mean by the grace of God to strive to overcome, that when He who is our life shall appear, I may appear with him in glory.

My prayer is that the Lord would revive his work here in the East, and that the good work may move on, till we all come into the unity of the faith.

Your brother, striving to overcome.
