MARTHA C. CYPHERS

By Martha C. Cyphers

From Sr. Cyphers.

BRO. SMITH: For the past ten years I have been a reader of the REVIEW. I have tried to live out what it teaches. When I first received the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, my heart was alive to the things of God. I esteemed the reproach for Christ more than the applause of earthly friends. I love the truth. It is still precious to me; but I am not satisfied. I want a living experience in the ways of God. I believe fully in the testimonies of Sr. White. God himself is leading this people. What a privilege is ours, to know the truth; and if we fail of everlasting life, we shall realize our loss more than if we had never known the way.

I have been aroused of late by the solemn fact that we have reached the last watch. I am trying to seek the Lord more earnestly, and to search my own heart more diligently than ever before. I am struggling for the victory over every sin. I think I have some evidence that the mercy of the Lord is toward me and mine. I thank the Lord for a name and place with his dear people. I hope, through the grace of God and the merits of Christ, to go with them to Mount Zion.
