MARY J. SHATTUCK

By Mary J. Shattuck

From Br. Shattuck.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: To-day is my birthday, and I am determined, the Lord being my helper, to live in that way and manner the coming year, that the angels shall have better things to write in the book above, than last year. I am weak, but He is strong, and I feel this morning to put my trust in him, and follow him through evil as well as good report. My resolutions were never stronger than they are this morning to go through to Mount Zion with those that travel in the straight and narrow way. I love the commandments, I love the holy Sabbath day, and believe it is the seal of the living God. I believe if we truly love the Saviour we will do the Father's commandments, and I do not see how he can bless us unless we do.

Yours trying to overcome.
