CHARLOTTE WEBSTER

By Charlotte Webster

From Sister Webster.

Dear Brethren and Sisters: It cheers my heart to read the testimonies you give in support of present truth. I rejoice that I have ever heard those solemn notes of warning which call us to prepare for the coming of the just One. My trials are severe, yet I feel that these light afflictions shall work out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Signs are fast fulfilling that bid us look up, for our redemption draweth nigh. Yes, our reward is certain; for He who hath promised, will surely fulfill; neither will He forsake us in the time of trouble that is just before us.
My desire is to live humbly, and righteously before my heavenly Father, having the gospel armor girt closely about me, that I may have a sure refuge from the just wrath of God upon a wicked world. The prayer of my heart is, Come Lord Jesus, come quickly. Surely the people of God can have no desire to stay upon this sinful earth. While thousands are sleeping in carnal security, and picturing to themselves years of peace, those who have a right understanding of God's word, see far differently. We see just before us, a time of trouble to the inhabitants of the earth. Brethren and sisters, we see plainly the progress of evil. Let us watch and pray, that we may be able to stand in the evil day, and finally have a home in the kingdom of God, where we shall be free from the trials of earth, and sorrow shall never mar our joy.
In hope of eternal life.
