Sister Kerr’s Testimony

From Sister Kerr.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I have reason to thank our heavenly Father for a place among his people. I trust that the hope which cheers the heart of the true pilgrim on his journey to Mt. Zion, is the same cherished by me. I have been trying to live in harmony with the pure principles of divine truth for about six years, and am not weary of the good work. Through the strength of Jesus, our dear Saviour, I am resolved to travel on, knowing that the reward that awaits the faithful is soon to be given. Although I am young, and have done but little for the Lord and his cause, and have no experience, as it were, in the things of the Lord, compared with those who have borne the burden in the heat of the day, yet I love the glorious cause. It lies near my heart.
I praise the Lord for the Health Reform. Although my system was never broken down by the use of poisonous drugs, I can see many around me who can truly say, that this great and good Reform has done much for them. I am daily endeavoring to set a good example before all, and trying to carry out every principle of the truth in my daily walk, so that when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, I may be found among his true flock. I would say to all, Be of good cheer; the Lord will withhold no good thing from them that walk uprightly. The Lord is leading his people. He will not lead them out into the wilderness to perish. No, he will stand by them and strengthen them to perform every duty, and finally bring them safely through to participate in the glorious inheritance that awaits them. Then let our hearts be inspired with fresh courage and greater zeal in this good work, until a crown of righteousness and unending life in the kingdom of God shall be ours.
