CORNELIA RICE

By Cornelia Rice

From Sister Rice.

BRO. SMITH: Being one of the lonely ones I wish to say through the Review that my desire is to so live that I may be gathered with the saints when Jesus comes, for not many times do I expect to meet with them on earth, as I am afflicted with the asthma. But how was my heart cheered with a visit from Bro. Fuller and Bro. and sister Brooks; and my prayer is, that Bro. F. or some of the messengers may come this way. It seems to me that good might be done. I rejoice to hear of the good work in other places, and wait in hope to see a work done here. I am trying to humble myself and follow the teachings of the Spirit; but I have much unbelief to contend with. I have trials without, and temptations within, but yet I know the strong arm of the Lord is able to bear me up, and I feel that I can trust in him. His hand is in the work, and he will lead his people on to certain victory. My anxious care is to be one among his people. When I think that our God is the same God that led Israel out of Egypt, and with what precision he marked their way, how he punished them for disobedience, I often tremble, and sincerely desire to be led by the pillar and cloud.
