By A. S. Cowdrey

From Sister Cowdrey.

BRO. WHITE: As the hours of the holy Sabbath were fast passing away, and as I was about laying aside my books and papers, the thought struck me that I would like to communicate once more with my dear brethren and sisters, through the Review,—that dear messenger of love and truth. Isolated as I am from the society of the saints, how sweet, how refreshing are its weekly visits! I have hailed it with more joy than I can express, during almost three years that I have been striving to keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. It has been all the preaching I have had, with one exception, which Bro. Loughborough will remember; it was a little meeting at Bro. Clarke's in Blarford, one cold, blustering day in February. It was to me a refreshing time. I have ever since remembered him in love, and in his, and Bro. White's affliction, have felt a deep sympathy; and trust my feeble prayers in their behalf, have been heard in Heaven.

I long to see and hear some of the messengers of truth; and I often feel to pray that God would inspire the heart of some one to come to Colebrook, to speak the word of life and salvation to a perishing people. May God bless his ministering servants, and all the flock of Christ, is my earnest prayer.

Yours, striving for eternal life.

P. S. I would not forget to tender my thanks to the ministers, for those sermons. Although the paper is usually filled with good instructive matter, yet a sermon now and then, to us lonely ones is a great treat.
