MARTHA SCRIPTER

By Martha Scripter

From Sister Scripter.

Dear Christian Friends: I have often thought that some one might be encouraged by a few words from my pen, as my own heart has been while reading the testimonies of others in the Review. For over a year I have been trying to be an overcomer. I love the Sabbath of the Lord, and hail with joy its weekly return. Its holy hours of peaceful rest give strength to heart and life.
Most dearly do I prize our excellent paper. I have loaned it to some of my neighbors to read, and they seem very much interested. Oh! that some living preacher might come this way and present the truth in this part of the land. I believe there are many honest ones who would receive the truth, but they are in darkness.
I feel that I do not make that progress in spiritual things that I desire to, for I have not the means to obtain light on this great and important subject. I am one of the lonely ones, and can well sympathize with such. I would say to them, Be not weary in well doing; God is not slack concerning his promises,
“But if you meet with trials, Or troubles on your way, Cast all your care on Jesus, And don't forget to pray.”
