Letters from Sisters

SISTER O. COON writes: I think we have great reason to thank God for what he is doing for his people. I have only to regret that I come so far short of doing my part, and filling well and faithfully my humble station. I feel unworthy of a place among God's children, but I ask for your prayers, dear brethren and sisters, that I may be delivered from the power of sin and Satan, and be enabled to glorify my Heavenly Father in all that I do. May God help me to live out the glorious truths of the third angel's message, and be earnest and faithful in preparing for the soon-coming of Christ.

SISTER M. J. WHITMAN writes from Cook Co., Ill.: I am trying to keep the commandments of God with my little girl, 6 years old. We love the coming of our Sabbath, as our neighbors term it. We read our sermon in the Review, sing our hymn, and crave the blessing of God upon us, which is our forenoon service; and the cheering testimony of the brethren and sisters are our social meetings. They are indeed, blessed ones. I often see in our paper amounts receipted for Review to the poor. Could such but know the good that is derived from what they give, by myself, and I presume by many others, they would feel amply paid now; and in the coming day I trust they may see many sheaves that have been gathered into the garner of the Lord.

SISTER N. J. LUCAS writes from Maine: Dearly do I prize the sermons that come weekly through the columns of the Review, as they are all the preaching I get by S. D. Adventists. Life Incidents, by Bro. White, are of thrilling interest. The health reform I believe is of God, and I desire to live up to it as far as I can see clearly. My means being limited, I cannot procure books and papers to get the information I desire, yet I feel that the Lord is leading me step by step, and I shall reap in due time if I faint not.
