SISTER A. R. KELSEY writes from Steel Co., Minn.: As I read from time to time the reports from the tried and tempted ones, I ask myself the question, Can I pen a word that will benefit any one? I have been thinking upon the Christian warfare, and I am led to ask,
"When will love freely flow, Pure as life's river, when will sweet friendship glow, Changeless forever?"
It seems that we are a long time bringing our wills into subjection, and getting rid of all that is offensive in the sight of God. I realize in some degree God's goodness to us in not cutting us off in our sins years ago. Truly he is longsuffering, desiring to save us from the wrath to come. Oh! our unbelief, and stubborn hearts! When shall we get rid of them? We are called upon to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh, and live in peace, not contentious for the honors of this world, but contending for the faith once delivered to the saints. But let us not be discouraged because we make slow progress. That we are weak; that we inherit unevenly balanced minds, is true. Hence, if we are going through to the kingdom, there must be the more effort on our part. May we all with the help of God, which he has promised, go forward, and be prepared for our last and great change.
