Jesus Soon Is Coming.

By Nellie L. Wilkinson

WHAT a blessed thought to those that love God and keep his commandments. The trials and temptations which we have to pass through here are nothing compared with the glorious reward that is promised to those that overcome.
If we are so happy as to enter the pearly gates, partake of the tree of life, and live forever, shall we ever be sorry that we have suffered and borne crosses in this life, and denied self to please the Saviour (his sufferings were greater than ours can be), even if we lose this life laboring in the cause for the good of others? No, never! We shall be glad that our eyes were opened to see our danger before it was too late, and that we have, by God's grace assisting us, endured trials, subdued our wills, and overcome all our sins.
It is several years since I made up my mind to give up all for a home with Jesus. I love present truth; it is precious to me. I love to talk and read about it. It cheers my heart to hear that others are embracing it. I desire to live it out in every particular and be saved when Jesus comes.
