SISTER E. LOOMIS writes from Licking Co., Ohio: It has been one year and six months, since I was led into the light of the present truth. Ever since that time, I have been trying to keep all the commandments of God, and the faith of his dear Son. I can say that I now see and understand my Bible better than I ever did before, but I am often brought to exclaim, Can it be possible that such a poor, sinful worm of the dust, as I am, can ever be made fit to stand on that beautiful sea of glass? Yes, praise the Lord, I have the promise, if faithful, of being one of that number that will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and ever be with him. I must watch more and pray more. I have dedicated my all to the Lord. I am willing to become little or nothing, for the sake of my Saviour. If we would take Jesus for our pattern, we must avoid all foolish talking, jesting, and joking, lead a sober, quiet life as it becomes followers of Christ. As we profess to be looking for his coming, let us trim our lamps anew, put on the wedding garment, and be prepared to see the King in his beauty. Glorious thought! It lifts my spirit above all earthly things to think our Lord has gone to prepare such a home for us. Is it not worth striving for?
