POLLY B. ROGERS

By Polly B. Rogers

From Sister Rogers.

BRETHREN AND SISTERS: God has dealt so bountifully with me, that I feel it a privilege to speak of his goodness, and would gladly persuade all to come to him. I have had a long and tedious sickness for more than two years, during which time, I have endured much mental as well as physical suffering. In my weakness, I have been tormented with most distressing doubts and fears. But I tried to forsake my sins, and get where God could bless me, and, praise be to his great name, I have so far recovered as to be able to do light work a part of the time, and to have the cloud removed from my mind in a good degree. Very many times I have cried unto him in my afflictions and received help speedily. Truly he is a present help in time of trouble, and his name is to be feared and had in reverence by all the earth. I ask the prayers of all who have faith, that I may overcome every besetment, and have all of my faculties brought into subjection to the will of God; also that I may be spared to my family, who need a mother's care and counsel, and that these loved ones who have so patiently toiled and cared for me in my afflictions, may all love and embrace the truth in Christ Jesus, that we may be a light in this dark place.

Your sister,

POLLY B. ROGERS
