Encouragement Amid Trials
By Sister A. O. Thompson
SISTER A. O. THOMPSON writes from St. Law. Co., N. Y.: When I am almost ready to sink under trials and cares there is always something in the REVIEW, to cheer me. To-night I have been reading the piece on “Scolding”. This is one of my besetting sins. Shall I ever overcome? By the grace of God I may. Then there were the few lines, headed, “Work while the day lasts.” How little I have done of the right kind of work. I had the privilege of attending the N. Y. Conference, and there I learned many lessons, but fear that the cares of life may choke them down. I fully believe we are in the last days and what we do must be done quickly. I believe that God is fitting up a people for translation. I want to be converted anew every day. It seems that there never was a time in all my religious experience of almost twenty-nine years, when it was so hard to enjoy religion as now. I ask the prayers of God’s people.
