LIZZIE R. LEWIS

By Lizzie R. Lewis

From Sister L. R. Lewis.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: As I have not the privilege of meeting with any of like faith, I will say a few words to you through the Review. I can testify I love the Advent people, and the truths they advocate. I also feel like trying to live in obedience to them. Although I have to confess that when Elder Hull turned away from us, my faith was shaken in a measure, he being the first to preach the third angel's message to me. I had too much confidence in mortal man, and not faith enough in God. I sometimes was almost ready to say, "There is none good, no, not one." But when I see the steadfastness of our leading messengers, and their determination to hold out faithful, I dared not dispute their worthiness. I feel to thank the Lord that the rebellion here in Iowa does not discourage me, neither does it weaken my faith in the least; but rather confirms my hope that the "end is near, even at the door." For the apostle Paul teaches us that in the last days some shall "depart from the faith," giving heed to seducing spirits, &c. May the Lord help me to overcome, and prove faithful to the end, for such have a precious promise in Matt. xxiv, 13. "He that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved."
