Wolcott, Ind

By Eliza C. Nordyke

From an Aged Sister

DEAR REVIEW: I have known and read you since July, 1856. Each week I hail you as a friend bringing good news from all parts of the world.

I knew the first pioneers,—Brother Bates, Elders White, Waggoner, and Cornell. The two latter brought the truth to Hanover, Mich. Elder J. N. Loughborough organized the first church near Jackson city, at the home of Brother Dan R. Palmer.

I am glad to hear of the prosperity of the cause of present truth. Looking back over forty-eight years, I can say, Surely God is in the work of the third angel’s message.

I was made glad to read the good articles written by Brother Butler, having known him at the time of his first public work, also Brother Haskell. May God bless Sister White. I am reading Volume VIII of the Testimonies. Surely God is dealing in mercy with us as a people.

Many of our aged soldiers are now resting in hope, awaiting the call of the Life-giver. My former husband was William R. Carpenter, of Hanover, Mich. ELIZA C. NORDYKE.
