By Emilie F. Hunter

From Sr. Hunter.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: For some time I have felt it my duty to say a few words to you through the REVIEW. I do think if there is one soul who has reason to thank God for his unbounded mercy, it is myself. I do thank him that he ever gave me the hearing ear, and understanding heart, to hear and obey the last message of mercy that is now being given to poor sinful man. For something over three years we were numbered among the lonely ones, with trials on every hand, and for a short time we got into rather a lukewarm state, but for several months before Bro. Steward commenced lecturing here last February, we had been striving to live nearer to God; and through the faithful labors of Bro. Steward, we now have a little church raised up here, whose members are striving for an abundant entrance into the holy city.

I came home from the camp-meeting at Clinton Junction, more determined than ever to try to live nearer my God. Oh! what a great work there is before us, and when I have said and done all I can, it seems as though I had done nothing. My own strength is but weakness, but I feel to put my whole trust and confidence in Him whose arm is strong and mighty to save. Yours in hope of eternal life,

EMILIE F. HUNTER
