From Sister Holt.
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: As the invitation is to all, to avail themselves of the privilege so kindly extended to us in the letter department, I would say that I am trying to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I am thankful that I ever saw the light of present truth. How cheering the hope which buoys the fainting heart above this cold dark world of selfishness and sin, and points to the hour of Jesus' coming, to take his waiting, toil-worn ones to himself. I am striving to overcome that I may be there. Though my heart often shrinks in view of my weakness and unfaithfulness, and though I am very sensible that I am a great sinner, yet I feel like striving more and more to overcome, through the help of Him who is faithful and true. The rich reward promised to the faithful is worth any sacrifice of earthly good. My heart is often pained by open opposition from opposers of the truth; but I thank the Lord that thus far his grace has been sufficient for even this. I feel to give all honor to the reform in all points, and am trying to practice it. Pray for me that I may so live as to have the protection of Him who has promised to be the widow's God, and the father of the fatherless. I need much grace, I have much to overcome; but I desire to be so humble, and walk so circumspectly before the Lord that I can claim his promises. I hope to overcome and behold the King in his beauty.
M. A. HOLT.
