LETTERS.

By L. S. Gregory

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

From Bro. Gregory.

BRO. WHITE: I want to say to the scattered brethren and sisters that the cause at Lovett’s Grove is onward. I praise God for the third angel’s message, and the precious truths connected with it, and the work it is doing for the church here, in uniting us together. We are trying to advance with the light of present truth, and in so doing the Lord is blessing us. We have had an addition of four members since the conference. I feel like praising God for his wonderful works to the children of men.
We can see just ahead the time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, but every one whose name is written in the book shall be delivered. Praise God for the precious promises left on record to cheer the pilgrim on the way to mount Zion, the city of the living God.
I feel like adding to my faith, virtue, and to virtue, knowledge, and to knowledge, temperance, and to temperance, patience, and to patience, godliness, and to godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness, charity; for if these things be in us and abound, they make us that we shall be neither barren nor unfruitful; but he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off.
I feel like putting on the whole armor, that I may be able to stand in these last days of peril, when wicked men and seducers are waxing worse and worse. My earnest prayer is that I may overcome all my besetting sins, and that I may have the pure gold, the white raiment, and the eye-salve, that I may see clearly to do all the commandments, and have the faith of Jesus, enter in through the gates into the city, and have right to the tree of life, and sing the song that no man can learn but the hundred and forty-four thousand. Brethren, let us take hold of the strong arm of the Lord by faith, in hope of eternal life.
L. S. GREGORY.
Lovett’s Grove, Ohio.
