JANE STILLMAN,

By Jane Stillman

From Sr. Stillman.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I have often thought I would write a few lines for our good paper, but have excused myself by thinking there were others far more capable of writing than I. I have been a believer in the Advent doctrine since 1843. I was among the disappointed ones of 1843–44; but I held fast our faith, and have until the present time. I embraced the Sabbath eighteen years ago last September, and I can say from the fullness of my heart, truly, the Sabbath is a delight, and the law of the Lord is perfect, just, and good. I am one of the lonely ones; but I have our paper with other of our publications to read, for which I feel very thankful. I can say that I never felt stronger in the Lord than at the present time. I firmly believe that we are living very near the close of all things earthly, and oh! how much grace we need to withstand the tempter's power. We read that his grace is sufficient for us. Let us not grow weary in well doing, for we shall reap if we faint not. We are too near the end to get discouraged. Our trials are soon to be over, and we shall soon see our blessed Jesus, that we have waited for so long. Do not let this world attract you, for this world and all that is therein is soon to be destroyed; and oh! may we all make our calling and election sure. May all that read these few lines be of that happy number that shall have made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb, is the prayer of your unworthy sister.
