From Sister Lucas.

By N. J. LUCAS

BRO. SMITH: I want to just say through the Review that I am becoming more and more interested in it, as I peruse its columns from week to week. I find it bountifully laden with healthful food from my Master's table. I can truly say that I am thankful that it ever found its way to my dwelling. I still love the Lord's Sabbath, and am trying to keep it as well as I can. I was very forcibly struck with the article in Review, No. 21,

last volume, on all having a duty to do. It went home to my own heart, and the response was, Let none of us shrink from duty because some brother or sister has a greater gift, and can write more to edification. If we have but one talent, let us improve upon that, so that when the Lord comes, we may hear it said, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord.” Now, unless we do well, we shall never hear this said to us. The Lord will not require more of us than we are able to perform. The language of our hearts should be, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” I feel that I have much to overcome, that I may be prepared to enter in to the marriage supper of the Lamb. Pray for me, that I may so live out the requirements of God as finally to be found with the remnant who will stand upon the sea of glass, having harps in their hands.
