Feasting on the Truth.

Bro. B. F. Carpenter writes from Peace Dale, R. I.: I have become very much interested in the pages of the Review which are well filled with Bible truth, as I now look at it, and also soul-cheering testimonies from those that are striving by the help of the Lord to be overcomers.

The Sabbath question, connected with the third angel's message, looks good to me, since I have had the privilege of hearing it so plainly set forth by Brn. Cornell and Loughborough. It was a real feast to me while listening to their able discourses. May the Lord ever be their helper in proclaiming the last message of mercy.

The number in this place who are striving to keep all the commandments is few, but by the help of the Lord I trust we shall hold on to the truth. We meet twice a week for worship, and I believe that God does really bestow upon us a blessing.

Christ said, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them."

My prayer is that we may always be ready to give our testimony on the side of God's truth, whoever may oppose. We have some opposition, but it does not amount to much when God's word is brought forward to give its testimony.

Brethren in the West, we want your prayers to the end that we may grow in grace and in the further knowledge of the truth, and that others in this place may see the beauty and harmony there is in God's Book. May the time be short ere some of your able ministers again feel it duty to come this way. The Lord bless you all abundantly in your good work, is the prayer of your unworthy brother.
