SISTER M. E. ARMSTRONG writes from Vanburen Co., Mich.: I am still striving to overcome every evil, and in the strength of the Lord, am determined to conquer. It is good to call upon the Lord in sickness and in health. What great love the Father hath for us. Will it not lead us to serve him and love him? I will love him; for he first loved me. I will try to keep his commandments, that I may glorify him here, and at last have a right to the tree of life. This hope is worth living for.

We are living in a time when sin, sorrow and wickedness abounds, and the love of many is waxing cold.

I have made some progress in the Health Reform. Tea and coffee injured me. My health is much better now than when I used these articles. I thought it would be a hard thing for me to overcome the habit of using them; but in the strength of the Lord it was easy. I have found myself blessed in so doing. My health is nearly as good as in my younger days. I praise the Lord for the Health Reform. I am wearing the health-reform dress, and find it much more convenient and comfortable. I hope it will be generally adopted. It is for our health, and looks well.

I feel thankful for the publications that I have from the Review office. They are welcome visitors. The paper comes laden with precious reading from my Master's table. I am truly thankful, it is sent to me free; for if it was not, I could not have it. It would be hard to do without it, as it is all the preaching I have.
