Letter from an Aged Pilgrim.
By A. Vickery
Sister A. Vickery writes from Oswego Co., N. Y.: I have often thought I would like to write a few words for the Review, but have felt myself incapable of saying anything to edify any one. But if others who feel as I do should keep silent, how we should miss the heart-cheering and soul-reviving communications that come weekly in our paper. It does me good to hear the dear brethren and sisters give in their testimony on the Lord's side, and make known their determinations to live out the truths of the third angel's message. I too am trying to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I feel that my days will soon be numbered, as I am now in my 73d year, and I want my last days to be my best. But I know that I have a great work to do. It is an every day work. We want our faith, and our love to the Saviour, increased every day. I love the Review, and should esteem it a great privilege if I could oftener meet with those of like precious faith, having seen none for nearly three years previous to the last N. Y. Conference. But what a happy meeting will that be when all the saints get home where there will be no sin nor sorrow; where we can all sing praises and give glory to God together! What a glorious meeting it will be for all the saints to sit down at the marriage supper of the Lamb! Shall I be there? Oh, that we may all obtain the necessary preparation. It is thirteen years last September since I commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. I had been a member of the Presbyterian church forty-six years; but after receiving present truth I was excommunicated. I feel unworthy of a name and place with the Advent people; but my heart is with them, and my desire is to go through with them to the kingdom.
