JOSEPHINE GEROY

By Josephine Geroy

From Sr. Geroy.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I wish to improve the privilege of expressing my desires and determinations, through the REVIEW, as I am one of the lonely ones. I am far away from any of like precious faith, and I cannot go to the house of worship, yet I feel strong in the Lord. I feel that he is very near and dear to my soul. I love Jesus. I love the law of God. I love the holy Sabbath. Truly it is a delight. Although deprived of the privilege of meeting with God's people now, if I am faithful a little longer I shall be permitted to assemble with the dear saints every new moon on the earth made new, there to worship that great and good Being, who hath given me my existence.

I feel more and more like pressing my way onward each succeeding day. I think I can, in some degree, realize that we are now entering the perils of the last days; and oh! how much of the grace of God we need to stand like good soldiers at our posts. I feel the need of a deeper work of grace in my heart, and it is my most earnest prayer that God will give me an increasing desire to get more humble, more Christ-like, and get in a place where I can have a large share of the Spirit of God to govern my every act. Oh! let us make much of the precious hours of our probation, and get ready to stand clear and without fault before the mighty God of Jacob.

I desire an interest in the prayers of God's people, that I may continue faithful to the end, and obtain an entrance into the heavenly home of the saints.

Yours, striving for eternal life.
