G. W. RICE

By G. W. Rice

From Bro. Rice.

Bro. WHITE: With some emotion I attempt for the first time to make known my gratitude to the Lord for a knowledge of the truth. It has been but a very short time since I started in this cause.
When I look back upon my past life, and think of the months and years that I have spent in sin and ignorance, I cannot find language to express the gratitude of my heart to the Lord for his kindness to me, while I have lived so unthankful. I am led to inquire, Why has he not cut me down as a cumberer of the ground? Why has he spared me so long? I love the present truth, and want it deep in my heart. O that the Lord would raise up more laborers to proclaim the truth to a sinful world.
May the Lord bless Bro. Cornell. He has sown, and Bro. Snook has watered, and the Lord is now giving the increase. The cause is growing here daily. Some are walking out in the truth; others are investigating, while some are like those of old, saying, "Come and help us," come and let us hear. I want more of the Spirit to help me to overcome that which is contrary to holiness. I want to keep all the commandments of God, and have the faith of Jesus, and an abundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom.
