From Sister Dibble.

By M. F. Dibble

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: As I read your cheering testimonies in the Conference Department, I feel to cast in my mite as one striving for the kingdom by trying to keep all the commandments of God, and having the faith of Jesus. It is about two years and a half since I first saw the light of present truth; and I rejoice to say and feel that the more I search the Scriptures of truth, the brighter the light shines. Yes, precious Bible! what a treasure! how rich to the hungry soul are its precious truths, direct from the lips of the dear Redeemer! How consoling to the weary traveler are the precious promises therein contained! Had we, lonely ones, no other source of comfort than the divine word and the accompanying Holy Spirit, we should still have no cause to complain; but, on the contrary, bless God for the daily manna which still remains for those who murmur not in the way that God leads his chosen people. And then the many minor helps we have as aids to the heavenly Canaan: the Review, with its counsel and encouragement, the Health Reform, just in time to repair our broken and wasted constitutions, Spiritual Gifts, Thoughts on Revelation, and all the others on present truth. These, if appreciated and lived out, would be sufficient it would seem to fill up our moments so profitably that there would be no room for the adversary to whisper doubts, discouragements, and murmurings. Then let us gird on the armor of God and press on our way to the end of the Christian race. Pray for us scattered ones that we be gathered with you to Mount Zion.
M. F. DIBBLE.
