HARRIET WHITE

By Harriet White

From Sr. Harriet White.

BRO. SMITH: I can say as David did: “In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and will glorify thy name forevermore.” Ps. lxxxvi, 7, 8, 12.

I can say the way grows brighter; although troubles may arise, Jesus shows his smiling face, which makes us rejoice in tribulation, that we are worthy to suffer for his dear sake, that when he comes we may be accounted worthy to reign with him. “I am a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. I will go in the strength of the Lord God. I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.” These words speak the feelings of my heart. Oh, how glad I am the scales fell from my eyes so I could see the glorious truth! My heart rejoices in it. Oh, how I praise his holy name! I want his commandments written on my heart. I can say with David, “Oh, how love I thy law.” Although I have not had the privilege of meetings for eight months, yet my Saviour meets with me. My Bible, my paper, and books, are my preachers; and I feel strengthened for the week to come. There are some investigating here. May the Lord open their eyes to the truth. Pray for me, that I may endure to the end.
