JANE LUCAS

By Jane Lucas

From Sr. Lucas.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: Being alone, and thinking perhaps that a few thoughts from one that is striving to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, would cheer some lone one, I thought I would pen a few lines for the REVIEW. I can truly say that I never have felt more like living out the truth than I do at this time. Eternal life looks blessed. I would know and do the righteous will of my Heavenly Father. I want to go through to Mount Zion with God's remnant people. Sometimes the way looks dark, and I feel almost discouraged; yet how thankful I am that at such times I can go to Jesus in humble prayer. He has promised never to leave nor forsake his children. Dear brethren and sisters, how good it is to trust in the Lord! I can truly say that the Lord has been very good to me. In my darkest hours he has never left me for a moment. His sweet and gentle Spirit has comforted me in trial and in affliction. Oh, how much I owe to Jesus!
“Jesus paid it all, All to him I owe, Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.”
Dear brethren, let us be of good cheer. Earth's stormy voyage of sorrow is most over. The reward of the righteous is but a little in the distance. Soon, if faithful, we shall hear it said from the lips of Jesus, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Pray for me, dear brethren and sisters, that my faith fail not, and that I may meet you on Mount Zion.
