By Caroline S. Lee

From Sister Lee.

BRO. SMITH: For the first time I try to contribute a few lines to the pages of the Review, as I have many times been encouraged by reading the cheering letters from brethren and sisters scattered abroad. I am striving to be an overcomer through the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony. I love the law of the Lord. I believe it is holy, just and good. I love the faith of Jesus, and will try to live it out in all its bearing. I am lonely and weary, but I look forward with glad anticipation to the time when the sleeping saints will come forth from their dusty beds, and with the living ones be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. I then expect to meet loved ones who sleep in Jesus, if I endure to the end. Praise the Lord for the bright prospect that is before the faithful follower of the meek and lowly Jesus.
My heart burns with love and gratitude to God for his goodness to me. Although I have been called to drink the bitter cup of affliction, yet praise the Lord, our light afflictions which are but for a moment will work out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, if we strive in the strength of the Lord to bear with patience all that he in love sees fit to lay upon us.
I believe we are nearing the closing up scene of all things earthly, and I want to be among those who shall be counted worthy to stand with the Lamb on mount Zion. I am thankful for the many great and preciouspromises that I find in the word of God for the encouragement of the widow and the fatherless. I feel like trusting in God with all my heart. Let us look up and take courage. Our blessed Saviour is soon coming to take his people to himself, that where he is they may be also.
I thank the Lord for the light that he has let shine upon my path amidst the darkness that surrounds me. Surely his blessed word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
Your unworthy sister.
