Living Out the Truth

By E. B. Saunders

From Bro. Saunders.

Bro. White : It is a long time since the friends of present truth have heard from me, and some may desire to know if I still love the glorious truths of the third message. To all such I can say, Yes, I do love these things, and am striving to live them out. I desire a deeper heart-work, and greater love for God and holy things than I have yet experienced. My prayer is, Give me thy Spirit, O Lord, and make it work in me a thorough reformation, till I am fitted for eternal life.
The Bible seems to me perfectly harmonious, yet evil men try to show contradictions in it; but it is truth, beautiful, exalting, life-giving truth; and my heart is ready to praise the Lord for the Book of books. I believe also that the Seventh-day Advent people are bearing on high the standard, around which the precious will rally in the trying time before us.
I have many acquaintances in the West who love God. Some of them have received the truth from poor M. H. I hope that these brethren will not be shaken by his apostasy. M. H. did not make the third message, but his connection with the message made him what he was.
Myself and companion are the only Sabbath-keepers in this village at present; but we hope that others will soon go with us. Oh for grace to shun all fanaticism and error, and to live out the truth before our neighbors, and thus glorify God.
Your brother. \ E. B. Saunders.
