Rejoicing in Present Truth
By Eliza L. White
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I feel to rejoice when I read over the cheering testimonies of our dear brethren and sisters, in the Review. How I love to read its pages, so laden with the blessed truths of the Bible. I do bless God for his goodness to me, that he ever gave me a willing ear to listen to the warning of the third angel's message. I want to live out the whole truth, that I may be able to stand when the day of trouble comes. Oh! that I may lay aside every weight, and the sin that doth so easily beset, and lay hold upon eternal life. I am striving to overcome. I have a great work to do, and but little time to do it in. My heart is prone to wander, and had it not been for the mercy of God, I should have been left in the dark. I thank our Heavenly Father that he ever sent Bro. Cornell here to preach the plain and pointed truths to us; and now we are under renewed obligations to praise God for his goodness to us here, for the timely visit of Bro. and Sr. White, and Bro. Andrews. It has resulted in much good. Some fifteen have resolved to live Christians, and showed their faith by being baptized. I feel that indeed the blessings of the Lord have been with us, and as I listened to the straight testimony of the servants of God, I was led to exclaim, O Lord, make me pure in heart, that I may see thy face in peace. Pray for me. Yours truly,
ELIZA L. WHITE.
