SISTER C. RICH writes from Folsomdale, N. Y.: It is the holy Sabbath. I have been reading Bro. Loughborough's sermon in the Review, and found a response in my heart to everything there written. The many things we should not forget called out my heart in thankfulness to God; for, isolated as I am from dear brethren and sisters, I have all these things to remember and meditate upon, and be thankful for. I could but go on my knees before God in thankfulness while reading the sermon. I am thankful that we can have a sermon every Sabbath to read; and when I think of those who write and labor and sacrifice for the cause of God, I feel almost discouraged, for what can I do? I am getting old, somewhat infirm, and have but little means wherewith to promote the cause I love. But the Lord knoweth my heart, and if he see best for me to have more of this world's goods, he could easily give them. I fear I should be an unfaithful steward. I know the best and most efficient way to promote the cause is to walk in the truth and live out its holy precepts. I can say that of late I feel new desires and new resolutions to watch and pray more, and strive to get nearer to God, that I may yet be an overcomer indeed, and with the remnant gain Mount Zion. May our Heavenly Father raise up his servants that are now feeble in health, call new laborers into the field, and send out his light and his truth through the length and breadth of our land, shall be my earnest prayer.
