By Z. S. Robinson

From Sister Robinson.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: Although unworthy, yet the Lord has been very merciful to me in calling me from nature's darkness into the marvelous light of his blessed truth. Six years ago the Lord sent the truth to this place, and a few with joy received it; but Satan who is going about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, succeeded in drawing some of them away from the truth, some of whom have lately seen their condition, and are trying to get back into the narrow way, but others are occupying the place of the evil servant who sayeth in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming.

Although it has been six years since I first heard the sound of the third angel's message, yet I delayed to obey the call till nearly one year ago, when I resolved, the Lord being my helper, that I would serve him the rest of my life. I deeply regret my past unkindness to my Heavenly Father who has done so much for me.

Bro. John Barrows has just been holding meetings here, and the result is that the church which has been for some time past in a backward condition is encouraged. Three more have been baptized, and others seem almost persuaded to obey the truth. We are a persecuted people, and feel that we need the prayers of God's people to help us to endure with patience the trials and temptations which we may be called to pass through. Yours, striving to overcome.
