ALMOST STARVED.

A BROTHER who has recently embraced the truth, having formerly been a Methodist, writes from Colorado Springs, Col., using the following plain words concerning the opposition of his former brethren against S. D. Adventists, and his own experience while with that people. He says:—

“I was a preacher in the M. E. church from 1868 to the time of my embracing the S. D. Adventist faith recently. Last evening I went to hear the M. E. minister of this place. The sermon was a vicious tirade against Adventist people, destitute alike of both sense and piety. It seems to me that the enemy of truth can want no better agents in the pulpit than such representatives of the Lord Jesus.

“I think there will be a fine opening for a tent here in the spring. There are no Sabbath-keepers in the place except ourselves.

“Since embracing the truth, the Bible is to us a new book, life a new drama, and to live means something. We were very tired of wandering round and round in the cornfields of Methodist theology, searching! for food. Here and there we found a nubbin, but we would soon have starved to death.”

There are multitudes of others, brother, trying to live on the same scanty fare. Help them to come to the rich feast of truth you have found in this message.
