From Sister Connet.

By Eliza I. Connet

Dear Bro. Andrews: I am still spared and have the privilege of donating to the cause of truth. My means are very limited, but what I have I give freely and willingly, and with a heart full of gratitude and praise to my Heavenly Father that ever I was brought to see and embrace the truth. Oh! what a comfort it is to the widow and lonely. My heart often burns within me when I read the stirring reports and testimonies in the dear REVIEW from week to week; and I feel such a longing desire to meet with those of like precious faith, that I sometimes weep tears of sadness and of love for God's people.

Last summer I lay very sick; was nigh unto death, but it pleased God to spare my life, and I am yet a probationer here on this sin-cursed earth, with time given me to prepare for the coming of my blessed Master. Oh! pray for me, that I may be an overcomer, that I may receive an overcomer's reward.

Your unworthy sister, striving to overcome, and gain eternal life. ELIZA I. CONNET. Richland, Co., Ill.
