From Sister Carmichael.

By E. D. Carmichael

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: How thankful we should feel that we were permitted to hear and embrace this solemn message before our minds were prejudiced against the truth. Often have we been ready to say,
“Why was I made to hear his voice, And enter while there's room, While thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come!”
Truly the third angel's message is a gospel feast. Oh! how rich, how comforting, the great truths of the law and gospel! Would to God that all our dear friends could avail themselves of its blessings. May he in great mercy make them willing in the day of his power. This has been my prayer for seven years, and he will surely answer because he has promised. I confess that I have come short in the great work of holy living, but we have an advocate with the Father, even Jesus. Oh! how thankful we are that he is yet our mediator! and such a high priest as can be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, and been tempted in all points as we are tempted.
It sometimes seems impossible for one in my circumstances to fully live out the truth, but my aim is to do so as far as I can. May God help us all, and open the way for us in his own good time. My desire is to trust him still and patiently wait his time for deliverence.
