E. R. WHITCOMB

By E. R. Whitcomb

From Bro. Whitcomb.

BRO. WHITE: I feel greatly encouraged every week by receiving the Review, and I wish to say to my brethren and sisters that I feel assured that God's grace will prove sufficient for me, if I put my trust in him. I feel that the way is narrow and full of dangers, in which I must walk if I would have an entrance into that blessed city whose builder and maker is God.

There are six or seven Sabbath-keepers in Olivet, desirous of going with the remnant to Mt. Zion.

I was made to rejoice and praise God to meet with the brethren and sisters in Charlotte, to hear from Bro. and sister Byington, and remarks on Revelation from Bro. Van Horn. It was good to wait before the Lord. We had one meeting on the Sabbath, and a communion season in the afternoon. We all felt that it was good to possess such humility of heart as to wash each other's feet. May the Lord help us all to seek for that holiness of heart and purity of character that will fit us for an inheritance in God's everlasting kingdom. Christ, whose right it is to reign, will be Lord of lords and King of kings; and may we by fulfilling the conditions of his kingdom, become joint-heirs with him to the inheritance which God has promised to them that love him. Christ says, Behold I come quickly, and my reward is with me to give—yes, praise the Lord! a free gift, a free reward—eternal life.
