We believe that many who will read these words have proved the ability
of Christ Jesus to save, and that others are seeking Him, and longing to
know that their sins are forgiven. We rejoice over them, and pray that
many more may be brought to walk the same way, for it is the way from
sin, death, and hell, and the way to Christ, peace, and heaven. All who
walk therein belong to the flock of the Good Shepherd; and we can say to
each one who has thus fled to Him for refuge, "He careth for you." His
love is stronger than death, and knows no change, for He is "the same
yesterday, and to-day, and for ever."
Dear young friends, there is a reality in the religion of Jesus, and we
pray that, in this truth-despising day, you may feel the power of grace,
and, by the work of the Spirit in your hearts, be so grounded in the
truth that you may turn with contempt from all those who, while they
profess to preach, have not the knowledge of God and His truth in them;
and, although they are anxious to discredit the Word of God, and set
aside the atonement of Christ, yet they do not know what to substitute
for them. All who follow such leaders are certainly being led on "the
down grade," and even the leaders themselves confess that they do not
know where they shall be landed. Some have already been landed in
Socinianism, and others in infidelity. Therefore, we say to all our
readers, Abide by and hold fast the Word of God, Cleave to those who
preach the pure and simple truths of the Gospel of Christ, as recorded
in the Scriptures, and may the Lord bless you with faith to receive
them in your heart. Then you shall "know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free."
Dear young friends, we seek your good, therefore we thus write, hoping
that our word of warning may not be in vain, but that some may be put on
their guard against preachers and teachers who have nothing but the
shifting sands of science for a foundation, which must all be swept
away, and those who build thereon must perish in the ruin.
Oh, may we be found on the Rock, Christ, living and dying, and be
enabled to declare before all these deceivers, "I know whom I have
believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have
committed unto Him against that day."
Children, do not forget the Bible. Obey, honour, and love your parents.
Avoid bad company, bad and foolish books, and evil habits. These things
will bring shame and misery to those who follow them, therefore shun
them all.
We still ask your help in spreading the GLEANER and the SOWER. May the
Lord make them useful, and bless you with His covenant blessing, is the
desire of
THE EDITOR.
