Gaining Victory Over Self
By M. West
SR. M. WEST writes from Madison Co., N. Y.: I am one of the lonely ones, and should be glad to say through the REVIEW that I am gaining some victory over self. The Kirkville Camp-meeting was a great blessing to me. The Lord is doing a work for me through Sr. White’s Testimonies. I am so constituted that when I have tried to serve the Lord I have often gone to extremes which has caused me bitter repentance. I wonder the Lord has not long ago rejected me. I have often thought it would be almost impossible for me to gain a right position, and obtain the kingdom; but when I see the clear light through the present truth, especially through the Testimonies, which lights up every step, I take new courage, and hope, by the blessing of God, to be an overcomer. The third angel’s message has done much for me. Thirteen years since, it found me in deep despair and lifted me out. No other light that I ever saw was able to do it. This was adapted to my condition. I love the present truth. All there is of me to-day I owe to it.
