From Sr. Lashier.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for the light he has made to shine upon my pathway, and that he gave me a heart to receive and a desire to walk in the light. I can say with the Psalmist, “The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.” “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” How many precious promises we have to encourage us on in our weary pilgrimage. Although the way may seem dark, and we may have trials and temptations, sorrows and afflictions, to pass through, He has promised that his grace shall be sufficient for us. Let us be faithful to the end, that we may be among the waiting ones when Jesus comes. Soon his intercessions for us will close. I desire, while mercy lingers, to be zealous and repent, that my sins may be blotted out, and my name retained in the book of life.

The REVIEW is all the preaching we have. I hope some messenger may feel it duty to come here and proclaim the last notes of warning to a perishing world. “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.” My prayer is that the Lord will send forth laborers. Oh! that we may feel the burden of the great work before us, a burden of soul for sinners, and try, by our earnest entreaties, our daily walk and conversation, to lead them to the Saviour. I desire to know what the will of the Lord is, and fill well my allotted place, so that when the Judgment is pronounced I may hear the welcome “Well done.”
