A Reader’s Renewed Earnestness
By Martha A. Green
BRO. SMITH: Having been a reader of the Review for more than six years, I would again express my thankfulness that I have ever been made acquainted with the precious truths it advocates. It is my only preacher, and how the lonely ones that seldom see the living preachers of the truth can appreciate the sermons it contains! Surely they are meat in due season. As I look over my past life I see that I have been in a lukewarm state. Oh that I may have strength to arise and give my whole heart to the work. I know that God's people are making advances, and if I do not get on higher ground I shall be left behind. I have been reading in sister White's Testimony where she says, “We can overcome, yes, fully, entirely. Jesus died to make a way of escape for us, that we may overcome every evil temper, every sin, every temptation.” This is what I believe many of God's people are doing, but oh! am I? is the solemn question. I will try to be more in earnest. MARTHA A. GREEN.
