M. BEAN

By M. Bean

From Sister Bean.

BRO. WHITE: I wish to say to the brethren and sisters, that I never saw and felt the necessity of our living for God, more than at the present time. We see the perils of the last days thickening around us, the enemy in pursuit, following hard after us, and watching for our halting. It is now time that we should be found standing on our guard and watching unto prayer. The day of the Lord hasteth greatly, and what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness? We as a people may make our boast of having the truth, but I see and deeply feel that we have a great lesson to learn, and that is, to keep our hearts with all diligence. We may attend to all the outward forms of religion, and after all, if we neglect to watch unto prayer, all is lost. It seems like going the same road or round of duty over and over and not growing in grace as we should. I have felt sometimes of late that I could say,
“I long to see my Saviour With shining ranks of angels come, And execute his vengeance, And take his ransomed people home.”
Yours hoping to go through.
