By A. Seger

From Sister Seger.

BRO. SMITH: I would gratefully acknowledge the weekly visits of the REVIEW, which is read with interest and, I trust, with some profit. As I am one of the lone ones, I feel it to be an indispensable means of instruction. The sermons, the testimonies, the soul-stirring warnings, are as meat in due season. I feel to praise God for the light of present truth. I am almost 69 years old, and my advanced age and infirm health forbid my going any considerable distance, to meet with Christians of like faith, yet I feel that my obligations to God are personal, and it is my duty to obey him in keeping all his holy requirements. His law is holy, just, and good, a transcript of his divine perfections, our infallible rule of life. Inasmuch as we are not redeemed with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Christ, I desire to be wholly consecrated to his service feeling that in keeping the commands of God there is great reward. I want to be sanctified through the truth, and be prepared to meet Jesus with joy at his appearing.

It is heart-cheering to be remembered and visited by our dear Christian friends. Bro. R. F. Andrews and wife with several others visited us and spent the last Sabbath of October and first day of November with us; preached and celebrated the ordinances. It was the first time that I ever had the privilege since embracing the Sabbath of the Lord. It was a precious season. I feel my spiritual strength renewed. I feel to praise God for so many blessings conferred on one so unworthy. We would ask dear friends to remember the lonely and tried ones. Pray for us.
