A Thank-Offering.

By MARY J. M. SAWYER

I FIND it in my heart to pay a tribute of thanks to my Heavenly Father. It is just two years this present time, when, to all appearances, my days were numbered, that the Lord added years to my life, that I might have the opportunity to make it a success, and be an overcomer at last.

I can say to the praise of his name, that these years have been very precious to me. I have been enabled to gain greater victories than before, and I now feel strength of body and mind to go forward in the work. To the Lord be all the praise. I earnestly desire to see all my wrongs, and gain victory over the same. And when my probation shall close, may it truthfully be said that through the intercession of Jesus, my life has proved a success.

Inclosed please find five dollars as a thank-offering.

In hope of everlasting life. MARY J. M. SAWYER. Greenville, Mich.
