Testimony from Washington County
By Mary S. Foster
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: As a part of our paper is set apart for the brethren and sisters to converse with, and edify one another, upon the soul-stirring themes of present truth, I gladly embrace this opportunity of adding my testimony to the many that are weekly penned by the “watching, waiting ones.” I am truly thankful that God in his “loving kindness and tender mercy,” has spread the truth so far that it has reached our door, and been received by all the members of our family. And I feel to thank God that he ever inclined the hearts of his careworn messengers to visit us. I believe their efforts to proclaim the truth in this place have not been lost. Although none of our neighbors have embraced the truth, yet they understand why we try to be so different from them, in not “running to the same excess of riot.” And I hope and pray that there may be some here who will yet heed the call, “Come out of her my people;” and “be ye separate.” Pray for us, that the Lord may carry on the good work which he has begun here, and that we may be accounted worthy to overcome this “present evil world,” and reign with Christ throughout the unending ages of eternity. MARY S. FOSTER.
