Encouragement in the Present Truth
By Mary Hillard
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I have been greatly encouraged by reading the testimonies that appear in the REVIEW from time to time. I dearly love the present truth, and am trying, in the strength that I receive from the Lord, to live it out. Never have I experienced so much of the love of God, and realized his blessings to such an extent as I have the last four years since I embraced the present truth. I was baptized by Bro. White one year ago last April, and I have felt to praise God for all his watchful care and tender mercies shown toward me. The truth never looked more precious to me than at the present time. I believe the unmixed wrath of God will soon be poured out upon the wicked. Shall we be able to stand in that day? My prayer is, that I may have the Holy Spirit to guide and help me at all times to overcome all the temptations, trials, and cares of this world. I desire to press forward with my heart fixed on Christ. I ask your prayers that I may be faithful unto the end, and receive the crown of life which the redeemed shall wear. Yours in the truth,
Ottawa Co., Mich.
MARY HILLARD.
