O. H. SPENCER

By O. H. Spencer

From Bro. Spencer.

BRO. WHITE: Having lately come to a knowledge of the truth I am trying to live in such a manner as to receive the approving smile of the blessed Saviour. It has been about two months since my wife and myself commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. It was at first a hard cross to come out from the ranks of Satan, after having been in his service so long. But thanks be to God, he has given us sufficient strength to come out from the world and acknowledge ourselves his servants. We are determined through his grace to continue to press forward, knowing that if we prove faithful, fervent, and zealous, eternal life, with endless felicity, will be our reward, which we feel is worth striving for.

We have friends and relatives who are yet in darkness, having not yet heard nor investigated the great and inestimable truths for these times, as laid down in the Bible. We pray for them, sincerely hoping that such of them as will be saved, may hear the precious truths of which we are in possession. It certainly seems as if this would be a proper and a well paying field for a messenger to herald the glad tidings of the soon coming of our dear Saviour. May the Lord assist us, and we sincerely hope, that if possible, a messenger may at least give us a call, should one happen to pass this way. We need to be organized.

Yours in Christ.
