Do not, I beg ofyou, let them turn you from the plainteachings of the Saviour, and his holy.Apostles, in relation to the law of God.„ Are you violating the fourth, theSabbath commandment in that law?If you are, do it no longer. It is one ofthe great commandments: If those whobreak the least, will be of no esteemin the reign of heaven, how and wherewill you appear, if you violate one ofthe greatest commandments?Dear Brethren and Sisters -I hope this little sheet will affordyou comfort and strength. Love andduty have compelled me to send it outto you. I know you must be rooted, andbuilt up in the present truth, or you willnot be able to stand „in the battle iu theday of the Lord {YAHWEH};“ Eze.xiii: 5.The time has come when we must bewhole hearted in the troth. Everythingis to be shaken that can be; thereforethose whose feet are not planted, onthe rock, will be shaken all to pieces.Those only will be able to stand in theday of slaughter; who shall be foundkeeping the commandments of God,and the faith of Jesus {Yahshua}. It isno small thing to be a Christian. Wemust be pure in life and conversationhere in time, if we would enter theHoly City.The keeping of the fourthcommandment is all-importantpresent truth; but this alone, will notsave anyone. We must keep all ten ofthe commandments, and strictly followall the directions of the New Testament,and have living active faith in Jesus{Yahshua}. Those who would be foundready to enter the saint‘s rest, at theappearing of Christ, must live wholly,WHOLLY for Jesus {Yahshua} now.This little sheet is free for all.
