Faith Amid Affliction

By Huldah Holford

From Sr. Holford.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I am striving to enter in at the strait gate. For a year past my trials and afflictions have been very sore. My sufferings have been beyond description, with a pain in my head and eyes, till I have almost lost my sight; and it is a great trial to me that I cannot read the Bible nor the REVIEW; but I can hear them read, and oh! how sweet they are to me. But I am almost through, and I can say to-day that I know my Redeemer lives. Blessed be his name! I long for that land where the inhabitants shall not say they are sick. Yes, my heart leaps for joy at the thought. Then these eyes that are so often weeping, will be immortal, and all tears be wiped away. Then I shall behold my Saviour in glory, and eat and drink with him at his table in his kingdom.
I often say in my heart, How can I stay in this dark world? I rejoice that a rest remains for the people of God. Pray for me, brethren and sisters.
Yours, in affliction, hoping to overcome through the blood of the Lamb, HULDAH HOLFORD.
Jackson Co., Mich.
