The Cause of Truth Advancing
By G. W. Holt
Dear Bro. White:—I have just returned from a tour of three weeks in Oswego and Jefferson Counties. I can safely say that the cause of truth is gaining ground. The meetings which I have attended, have been full of interest, on the account of deep searching of heart, humble confessions of error, good and thrilling testimonies to the truth, with resolutions to give all for the kingdom of Christ. Several conversions to the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. The way is opening fast for the third angel’s message. The calls for help are more than can possibly be attended to at present, unless the Lord sends more laborers into the vineyard. I feel like doing what I can, but that will be very little. Where little is given little is required. I feel myself too unworthy to be engaged in so holy and so righteous a cause as the present work of God. I would esteem it a great privilege to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for the saints of God. I want to go with that people in whose heart is the law of the Lord, and of whom God has spoken good concerning; for I am sure they will obtain the victory through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. They will bear the palm branch of victory, and wear the crown of glory on Mount Zion.—I am sure I want to go. The golden City is there, with its towering walls and its pearly gates, and the stream is there that makes glad the City of God.—Yes, the tree of life is there, and Jesus will be there also. Dear Brother, I know I want to go. “I will be in this band, hallelujah.” Oswego, N. Y., Jan. 11th 1853.
