From Sister Wakeling.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: The Sabbath of the Lord is to me a delight, and in the keeping of the commandments of God there is great reward. I feel to praise the Lord for all his watchful love and tender mercy shown toward me, and I greatly enjoy the reading of the testimonies in favor of truth which appear in the Review from time to time. I dearly love the present truth; and I am trying in the strength I receive from the Lord to live it out, that those around me may know that there is a sanctifying power in this work. Sometimes I fear lest at any time I should falter in the way and at last come short of the prize. But Jesus has promised to be with me, and has said that his Spirit should comfort and guide; and as I reflect upon these promises, I take new courage and still press on. I would praise him also, that he has bowed a listening ear and answered the prayers of his children, and that those who stand at the head of the work are being restored. Let us continue to pray, that they may improve rapidly, that the work may go on with renewed zeal, and the mouth of the scoffer be silenced. I desire your prayers, that I may be faithful unto the end, and receive the crown of glory which the redeemed shall wear.
Your sister in the truth.
