Letters from Missouri and Wisconsin
Sr. C. Sintricum writes from Johnson Co., Mo.: The Review has been a great comfort to me. I prize it next to the Bible. I can say to the scattered ones that my faith is strong in the third angel's message, though I am one of the lonely ones. I have no one to converse with, but I feel to thank and praise His holy name that I have a friend that never will leave nor forsake me unless I first forsake him; he is ever a present help in time of need. I have had some trials to pass through, but they have been all for my own good; and I expect to find troubles and trials in this world of sorrow, for there is nothing lasting here. I never heard a sermon preached. My mother heard Brn. Andrews and Saunders give a course of lectures near Gridley, Illinois. She has kept the Sabbath three years. I have kept it two years. I am very thankful for the health reform, for I think that is just what we all need. If any one of the Advent people pass through here I would be glad if they would call and see me. Sister Polly Holcomb writes from Dane Co., Wis.: I would be glad to have a course of lectures in this place, and my son at Arena also joins with me in the request. I think there are some in this place who would obey the truth if they had an opportunity to hear from those that could set forth the Advent doctrine in all its branches. I can say that I am striving to live so, that, when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, I may receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
