Letters from Advent Believers
Sr. Lydia E. Martin writes from Marquette Co., Wis.: Oh! how my heart yearns for the society of Advent people! It is a long time since I have seen any Advent papers or books, or any one of the same faith; and it seems very lonely to me. I ask your prayers, that whatever of sin be found in me, may all depart; and may we each and every one be striving day by day to walk in all the ordinances and commandments of the Lord blameless. “Watched by the world's malignant eye,
Who load us with reproach and shame;
As servants of the Lord, Most High,
As zealous for his glorious name,
We ought in all his paths to move,
With holy fear and humble love.” Sister J. Stacy writes: I am trying in a feeble way to make Heaven my home. My progress toward the kingdom seems very slow. I have many trials and troubles to pass through, but I know the grace of God is sufficient for me. I love all God's people, and I want to go with them to the kingdom. I praise the Lord for the third angel's message. It will bring out a people that will stand secure in the time of trouble. The Lord said, “Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.” Jer. xv, 11. Attending a funeral the other day, I heard the preacher say that there would be more saved than would be lost. It seemed to please the people well. I thought of Jer. xiv, 14, “Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart.” May I with God's dear remnant children, get the victory over all my sins and stand on Mount Zion, and sing the song of deliverance.
