A Testimony in Favor of the Review
By Harriet I. Wescott
Bro. White: I esteem it a privilege to cast in my mite in favor of the Review and the holy truths it advocates. I hail its weekly visits with delight. It is truly meat in due season to my hungry soul. Being among the lonely ones, I should not know how to do without it. I love to read the cheering testimonies from the brethren and sisters with whom I hope soon to meet in the kingdom of immortal bliss. I have been a reader of the Review some over three years, and I have never seen anything but what I could respond to with yea and amen; and I can say truly I sympathize with Bro. White and family in his late affliction, and my prayer to God daily is, that he may be speedily restored to health and usefulness in sounding the last warning message of mercy to a sinful world. Oh, what fearful times we are living in. Truly Satan has come down with great wrath. My heart is wrung with anguish when I see friends and neighbors going blind-folded, as it were, to perdition, and oh, how far short I come of what I should be. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. I need on a double armor, living, as I do, where the message has been rejected, and all are on the watch. I am frequently told that I am getting worldly, and do not believe the world is coming to an end in my time; but I thank God that he has not altogether forsaken unworthy me. His mercy is still extended to wayward, sinful man. Jesus, that lovely Saviour, is still saying, "Father, spare them a little longer." Oh, how little do we appreciate a Saviour's love! Pray for your unworthy sister. Yours seeking for an immortal inheritance.
