ANNA MATTESON

By Anna Matteson

From Sr. Matteson.

BRO. SMITH: I am interested more than ever in this last solemn work. I long for salvation, and desire, with God's dear remnant children, to be an overcomer. My daily prayer is, that we may cleanse ourselves from all-filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit, that we may be more like our dear Saviour. I want to love and serve him in all my conversation, when I meet with the brethren and sisters on the Sabbath, and when I attend to my daily labor at home. Oh! that the Lord may say also to me, in the day of his coming, “Well done, good and faithful servant, . . . enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” This glorious inheritance is worth all our self-denial. Heaven is cheap enough if we have to overcome a few wretched, sinful habits. Let us now try to live in accordance with that light which God has so graciously given us in these last days.
