From Sister Mills.

By Phebe Mills

BRO. SMITH: For the first time I will try to write a few words to the brethren and sisters through the Review, being induced to do so by a remark from one who feels an interest in the prosperity of the cause of present truth in this place. The remark was, “I have watched to see some word in the Review from Chicago, and to hear of prosperity there.” Perhaps some others may feel the same.
It is now nearly three years since my attention was called to the Sabbath, and I then commenced to try to keep it. It was a great cross to me to separate myself from the church that I had long been a member of, and which was endeared to me by many ties. But the Lord strengthened me in answer to the fervent prayers of those that told me of the Sabbath, and to-day I love the holy Sabbath and present truth; and I praise the Lord for his goodness in showing me the true light. How good the Lord has been to me, and I so unworthy! yet my heart longs for more of his sweet Spirit. Oh! to think that it is possible for me, with all my unworthiness, to be able to walk those golden streets of the New Jerusalem. Oh, glorious hope! How small the trials of life appear when contemplating the joys of those that overcome their sins and obtain that heavenly rest.
We are still trying to keep up meetings on the Sabbath, although there are but two sisters besides myself and children to attend them. The brethren have all left.
We have been hoping and praying that the Lord would put it into the heart of some good brother to come here with his family and settle.
