AN EXHORTATION.

By Alice Edwards

BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I do not know that I can say anything to benefit any one; but this I can do; I can confess my love for my Saviour and his blessed cause. I know that God has blessed me far more than I deserve. I feel a desire to get nearer my God, and to have a better knowledge of the truth. I fear the most of us are too much burdened with the cares of this life, and for this reason not zealous enough in the good work of the Lord. Brethren and sisters, this ought not to be. If we do not arouse, and gird on the armor anew, we shall lose our crown. Oh! may God help us to overcome, that we may have right to the tree of life, and enter through the gates into the city. I desire to get there, and I want to meet all my friends there. May the Lord give us the true missionary spirit that we may scatter the precious seeds of truth broadcast over the earth. Oh! let us strive harder, more earnestly, for eternal life than we have ever done before. I ask the prayers of all God's people. May the Lord help us to hold out faithful to the end, is the prayer of your sister striving to overcome. ALICE EDWARDS.
