The Overcomer’s Crown

By E. Putnam

SISTER E. PUTNAM writes from Maine: I have been trying about one year to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I have made some little progress, but there is much more yet to overcome. God’s promises are sure. He will give us grace to overcome; and we may at last be able to stand on Mount Zion, and wear an overcomer’s crown. I often ask myself the question, when I feel desponding; Do I realize that eternal life is to be the reward of the faithful overcomer? a life where there is no more sickness, pain, nor death? “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying; neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away?” Unto whom is this precious promise? “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God and he shall be my son.” Oh! what a promise! Sons of God! If we had nothing to overcome, it would not be written, He that overcometh shall inherit all things. Oh! let us take courage; for the time cannot be long at the most, before Jesus will come in all his glory. Our sorrows will then have an end. God grant that we may stand prepared to meet him in peace.
