Faithful in the Closing Hours
By Sister A. Hamlin
SISTER A. HAMLIN writes from Clinton: I am with you heart and hand in the great work of preparation, while the few closing hours of probation last. I will try, the Lord being my helper, to overcome my sins and be found at last among the faithful ones who have been keeping God's commandments. I pray that I may realize more deeply the solemn times in which we are living. While Jesus is finishing his work in the heavenly sanctuary, let us be faithful. The third angel's message is preparing the people of God for translation, and the world for destruction. Shall I, a poor sinful creature, be found at last with God's people? I will try to be there. I thank the Lord for present truth. It has been four years since I commenced to keep the Sabbath, and I am not weary of the way. The truth looks better and brighter every day. Truly, we are living in an evil day, when wickedness is increasing, and the enemy's wrath is kindled against those who are keeping the commandments. Trouble is increasing; but God will be a Sun and Shield to his people. He is a strong tower in the time of trouble. We will trust in the Lord. We need not fear; he is an ever present help in the time of affliction.
