Letters.

By Wm. F. Crous

“Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another.”
This department of the paper is designed for the brethren and sisters to freely and fully communicate with each other respecting their hopes and determinations, conflicts and victories, attainments and desires, in the heavenly journey. Then they, says the prophet, that feared the Lord spake often one to another. We believe emphatically that we are living in that time. Therefore seek first a living experience and then record it, carefully and prayerfully, for the comfort and encouragement of the other members of the household of faith. Let this department be well filled with lively testimonies of the goodness of God, and the value of his truth.

From Bro. Crous.

BRO. WHITE: We wish to say to the dear brethren and sisters, that we are still on the Lord's side, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. It is now over three years since we embraced the Advent faith; and we can still rejoice in present truth, and the glorious hope of immortality when Jesus comes. We praise God that we were brought to see the light on the Sabbath question, as it is the sign or mark of the living God: that part of his law which brings to light his true character, and distinguishes him from all false gods as the Maker of heaven and earth.
Although we are alone here in keeping the Sabbath of the Lord, yet we feel not forsaken; for the Lord is our strength, and the lifter up of our heads in time of trouble. Fear not, little flock (lonely ones), it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Oh let us be faithful and love God with all our hearts.
Dear brethren and sisters, remember us in your prayer-meetings and closets, as lonely ones surrounded by opposition, with none to encourage or strengthen us. We praise God for the Bible, and the light of present truth, as set forth in the Review.
Yours waiting for immortality when Jesus comes.
WM. F. CROUS.
