MERAB K. OWEN

By Merab K. Owen

From Sister Owen.

WITH humble gratitude I would acknowledge the goodness of God to me and mine. A little over three weeks ago my husband lay sick with a fever, and doctors pronounced him past cure; said he would not live forty-eight hours. One of them said to me, You will have to give him up. Said I, I will give him up into the hands of God; I think he is able to raise him up. The next day Dr. Kellogg arrived here from Battle Creek, and commenced water treatment. With the blessing of God, we soon began to see the fever abate, and after a few days it left him, and he has been slowly recovering. Though weak still, we praise God for the great work wrought in him.

For some years we have been trying to keep the Sabbath, but we would humbly acknowledge that we have not lived so holy in the sight of God, as to be fully prepared to meet Jesus at his coming.

As God has so greatly blessed us, we would most earnestly pray, and humbly hope that he will strengthen us by his grace, that we may be found the remainder of our days keeping the commandments of God and

the faith of Jesus. For this we ask the prayers of the church; and for our children, that they, with us, may walk the narrow way that leads to eternal life.
