Cheer Up, Lonely Ones

Sister R. A. Wheeler writes from Johnstown Center, Wis.: We are living in perilous times. Oh for the grace of God to help us to stand. Unless we live for it we shall fall. "Nearer my God to thee," is my cry. I am trying to be an overcomer. I embraced the Advent doctrine in 1844, for which I am not sorry. Although I have passed through some trials, it has been good for me; and nothing is worth mentioning in comparison with the glory that is to be revealed when Jesus comes. One year ago last July my companion and myself commenced keeping the Sabbath, while living in R. I. We soon came to Wis., leaving in Ct. and R. I., friends with whom we had enjoyed many good seasons, which will not soon be forgotten by me. Tears will flow as I look over the past; but we must not stop here. For the present we are to live, and move on step by step, till our Lord appears. Some of us have been looking and watching for his coming for many years; and for one, I am not discouraged; for He that shall come, soon will come and will not tarry. Cheer up, lonely ones, your redemption draws nigh. Brethren East, speak through the Review, that we may know how the battle goes with you.
