Word From Sister White

UNDER date of May 27, Elder W. C. White writes as follows:—
“Knowing that you are interested to hear about mother’s health, I shall write again.
“From Wednesday, May 12, she was stronger, and was able to eat better than for several weeks. Thursday, May 20, she was not so well. Friday she could not eat anything, and for a few days she grew weaker rapidly.
“Sunday, May 23, in the afternoon, Sister MacEnterfer read to her a letter from Elder F. C. Gilbert, telling about the progress of the work in Portland, Maine. She was much cheered to hear of prosperity in the Portland church.
“Tuesday morning, May 25, she was very weak, but her mind seemed clear; and when I asked if she was comfortable, she said:—
“‘I am very weak. I am sure that this is my last sickness. I am not worried at the thought of dying. I feel comforted all the time, the Lord is so near me. I am not anxious. The preciousness of the Saviour has been so plain to me. He has been a Friend. He has kept me in sickness and in health.
“‘I do not worry about the work I have done. I have done the best I could. I do not think that I shall be lingering long. I do not expect much suffering. I am thankful that we have the comforts of life in time of sickness. Do not worry. I go only a little before the others.’
“About 4 P. M., Tuesday, Elder and Mrs. George B. Starr called to see her. She remembered them, and spoke words of encouragement about their work.”
BROTHER S. E. ST. AMANT, who is connected with the General Conference Press Bureau and is sending out matter for the People’s Forum of the daily papers throughout the country, is desirous of ascertaining to what extent this matter is being published. Will those of our readers who notice these articles kindly clip and send them to him, at 257 Flatbush Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., carefully marking name of paper and date of issue? Brother St. Amant suggests that in order to avoid needless duplications, it would be well for those living in the larger cities to take these clippings to their local church elder to be forwarded by him. We consider the work of the Press Bureau of very great importance in the promulgation of this message, and solicit the assistance of our readers in this matter.
