Lifting the Cross

By L. Bolton

SR. L. BOLTON writes from Portland, Me.: I am strengthened and encouraged as I see the wonderful dealings of God with his people, in leading them out from the world to be his peculiar people, that they may shine as lights in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. How good the sermons are in the REVIEW! How full of truth! How timely! My mind was very solemnly impressed with the two sermons, “The Lost Sheep,” and “The Acceptable Fast unto God.” Unworthy as I am I feel to thank God for his goodness and mercy to me, and for the light and truth of his blessed word which has shone upon my pathway, and also for the faithful testimonies to the church. I feel their solemn warnings and reproofs, and the prayer of my heart is, that I may be enabled, by the grace of God, to live out these truths from day to day, and bear the cross of Christ. I know if I lift the cross the cross will lift me, and I shall rise above the trials and discouragements which sometimes weigh me down; and it will enable me to lift up my head and rejoice, knowing that the redemption of God’s people draws nigh. I mean to strive to be faithful, and overcome everything that is evil, that I may meet with all God’s people in his blessed kingdom.
