Trials and Faithfulness
By Laura M. Davis
BRO. SMITH: I have just been reading the cheering testimonies from the brethren and sisters in the last Review. I love to read them; and as I read from others, I sometimes think that I too might say a few words to cheer some lonely heart; but I feel very unworthy. I know that I must pass through trials and afflictions here if I would reign with my blessed Redeemer; for it is only those that come up through much tribulation, that shall dwell with Jesus in his kingdom. I know that we are nearing the gathering time. Soon Jesus will come in all his beauty; and I, many times, ask myself the question, Shall I be found among the faithful? Yes, I will, by the grace of God assisting me, come off conqueror over every thing that is wrong, that when Jesus comes I may hear the “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.” Your sister in Christ,
