A Wisconsin Reader’s Encouragement
By J. A. Lanphere
Sister J. A. Lanphere writes from Wis.: The first news that we had of the dear people who are sending abroad the holy and ennobling thoughts published at the REVIEW Office, was by hearing a first-day Adventist elder ridicule them, because of a person they called Ellen White. This was some two or three years ago. We did not so much as know where to address, till we learned it from some tracts left at Burns by a brother. While reading the soul-thrilling testimonies in volume two, tears could not be suppressed. While hearing the stirring appeals for help, how earnest our longings have been to help ease the burdens of the dear ones who have laid themselves and all that is precious out for that dear Saviour and his people. Of the publications that are being issued at Battle Creek, I feel as if I dare not receive the light only as I lift my heart in prayer to the holy One to help me and all to live it out. I have never before written anything for the press, but desired to let you know that there are hearts here who earnestly desire to help all we can, if no more than to breathe a prayer to Heaven constantly for the dear people who have spread abroad so much light and truth.
