From Sister Baker.

By Rosetta Baker

Bro. Smith: I am still striving to be an overcomer, and go through to the end with the tried people of God, although I feel my weakness and unfitness to be one among them, yet I feel determined to go with the remnant. I realize that we are living in the last days, when sin is on every hand, and it is only by constant prayer and watching that we can overcome our evil ways. I feel thankful for our excellent paper, and I feel encouraged when I read the testimonies from the tempted and tried ones; many times I see lines from those that are lonely and tried as I am, and my prayer is for such that God in his great mercy will bless them, and will hasten on the day when we shall have our companions with us, in trying to lead our little ones to that blessed land, where there shall be no sighing for the company of those of like precious faith. I feel thankful for the light of present truth, and for the Health Reform. I am trying to live up to it as well as circumstances will permit, but I find that I fail when I do my best. But I know that our Father has promised to help us in time of need, and I feel that he has helped me to overcome much that is sinful in his sight, and hurtful to my health. Pray for me that I may still overcome, until I shall stand at last with those that shall hear the welcome, “Well done.”

Your unworthy sister, striving for a home in Heaven.
