SYLVIA M. WILSON

By Sylvia M. Wilson

From Sister Wilson.

DEAR BRN. AND SISTERS: As I was meditating on divine things this morning, my mind ran back to the many brethren and sisters with whom I was acquainted in Ill. and Wis., and I thought I would like to know how they were being prospered and what advance they were making in their heavenly journey; when the thought occurred to me that they might also wish to hear from us. I would therefore say that we are still striving to overcome our besetments, that we may joyfully meet you at Christ’s appearing, and dwell where there will be no more parting, trials, or death. We are trying to live out the Health Reform, to some extent, using no flesh meats, and principally graham flour, thinking it far superior to fine flour for health. I intend to adopt the reform dress, believing it to be beneficial. On the day set apart for fasting and prayer, the little company of Sabbath-keepers in this place assembled at our house, and we were blest in humbling ourselves before the Lord.
I love to read the cheering testimonies from the dear saints, and especially the lonely ones, who are left, as it were, to fight life’s battles alone. Let us be faithful a little longer, that we may meet where the ills of this life are all past, and we can praise our great Deliverer forevermore.
