Clinton, Iowa

By S. M. StCLAIR

From Sr. StClair.

BRO. SMITH: I am again numbered among the lonely ones. Since coming to this place I realize more than ever the necessity of drawing nearer to the Lord, and seeking a daily conversion to him, that I may be enabled to withstand the moral darkness that surrounds me; and not only this, but that I may, by a consistent life and godly conversation, so exemplify the religion of Jesus, that some precious soul in this place, for whom Christ died, may be saved in the great day of God, which is so swiftly hastening on.

I do feel more than ever determined, by the help of my Heavenly Father, to be a perfect overcomer, that I may be permitted then to enjoy such society as my aching heart now yearns for. Remember the lonely ones.

To Seventh-day Adventists passing through Clinton, Iowa, I would be very much pleased to have them call, as our house is open to receive the friends of truth and reform. Residence on Third Avenue, south side, between Second and Third Streets.

Your sister in hope.

S. M. StCLAIR.
