From Sister Wright.

By Mrs. B. Wright.

BRO. SMITH: For the first time I will try to write a few words to the brethren and sisters through the Review, feeling my unworthiness. I have not made that progress in spiritual life that I desire, yet I feel to thank God that my life has been spared to hear the third angel's message, and that I had a heart to receive it. I was a member of the M. E. Church for six years. One year ago last June when Bro. Van Horn and Lawrence came here with the tent I was much prejudiced against them, and would not go to hear them at first; but out of mere curiosity finally went to hear them. I found my prejudices were leaving me, and to day I thank God that these brethren were sent here. Our little church here now numbers about twenty-eight. We have built a very comfortable little Meeting-house and have it nearly all paid for. We have had a good many discouragements, but have so far overcome them. We are trying to keep the commandments of God and the faith of his dear Son as best we can. 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, and to day I love the holy Sabbath and present truth; and I praise the Lord for his goodness in showing me the light, yet my heart longs for more of his love, and my daily prayer to God is that I may grow in grace and in the knowledge of his truth. I want to be one of that number that will outride all the storms and difficulties of life and finally land in the city of the New Jerusalem. Dear friends, we are living in the last days, and it becomes us to be pure and holy if we want to enter in through the gates into the city.

Dear brethren and sisters pray for me, I need your prayers to sustain me in my efforts to obtain that rest that remains for the people of God.

MRS. B. WRIGHT.
