LAURA M. ALEXANDER

By Laura M. Alexander

From Br. Alexander.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I feel thankful that my life has been spared to see the days I now see, when everything foretells the coming of Him who has gone to prepare mansions for all who love his appearing. It is my daily prayer that I may be one of the happy subjects, that, when my Lord shall come, shall hear the welcome, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom.

My pen cannot tell the feeling of gratitude I owe to God in opening the eyes of my understanding to know my duty; and by his grace I desire to keep his holy commandments. It is my delight to observe his holy Sabbath, although deprived of the privilege of meeting with those of like faith.

I am a firm believer in the third angel's message. I believe it to be the last message of mercy to the world. I feel a hope within, while I write, which buoys my mind above earth's transitory things. I feel this is not my abode; but when this earth is made new, I hope then, with all the saints in light, to range the blissful fields of the new earth and see my Saviour as he is.

Yours in hope of eternal life.
