Birth of a Reformation; Or, The Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner
Byers, A. L. (Andrew L.)

A brother writes thus, inquiring of us, "O Daniel! is thy God
continually able to deliver thee?" Through the amazing grace
of God we are able to answer from the lion's den and from the
seven-times-heated furnace, Yes. Glory to the God of our salvation,
he keeps our soul above the world, the flesh, and the devil, and
from all sin. He keeps us from these two opposite regions of
death, namely, the cold, hard-hearted, grating, fruitless spirit
of carnal sect-hatred on one side; and from the soft, spurious,
self-soothing, carnality-pleasing, and sect-compromising, all-bogus
love delusion on the other. God helping us we shall never move out
of Mic. 3:8 and Psa. 149:6-9.
He received many letters from those who were sympathetic and who were
thankful for the Trumpet. The following are a few:
I am so glad to get the Gospel Trumpet. I think it is the best
paper I ever read. It speaks the Bible truth.
May the Lord bless you in the good work, and give you grace and
strength to withstand all the fiery darts that Satan and his hosts
can hurl at you. God and Christ shall be for walls of salvation
about you. Whom shall we fear when God is our friend? I am trusting
in Jesus for a full and free salvation. 'Without holiness no man
shall see God.' It does my soul good to read the testimonies of
how God is healing both soul and body, I believe he is willing to
manifest as much power on earth today as he did when Christ was
here in the flesh. Your sister, saved through the blood,
L. B.
We are continually praising God for the way he is keeping you
through every severe trial. When we understood the reality of your
trials we all wept as if we had been at a funeral. How our hearts
go out in sympathy for you! O dear brother, hold on to God; he
will not forsake those that trust in him. You must come to our
camp-meeting without fail, for we know God wants you here; but the
sect people are hoping you will not come. Your sister,
M. J. F.
May God reward you in your great work. Some good friend is sending
me the Trumpet, and I do love to read it, because it has the right
ring. It sounds as if it had been baptized in the Holy Ghost and
with fire. I never saw until I was baptized with the Holy Ghost the
corruption of sectism. I am so glad that there are a few that do
stand for Christ and him alone. Your brother,
H. B. C.
My prayer is that you may continue blowing the Trumpet, and that
it may always give a clear and certain sound. I had a pretty sharp
discussion with a minister today on the subject of sanctification.
By the grace of God I was under the necessity of telling him
that he was not a competent witness on the subject, having never
received the experience. Oh, why will men attempt to explain and
preach that of which they know nothing! May the God of all grace be
continually your refuge and your exceeding great reward.
M. M.
