SUSIE A. OSBORNE

By Susie A. Osborne

From Sr. Osborne.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: We have long been talking of writing a few words for the REVIEW; and, as we love to hear from the brethren, they probably would from us. We love the Lord, are striving to overcome, keep the commandments of God, and have the faith of Jesus. We love the holy Sabbath, and feel very thankful that the Lord saw fit to send a messenger here to teach us the “third angel’s message,” and that he gave us willing hearts to accept it. We see new beauties in the Bible. We love the testimonies, and find something new every time we read them.
We love to have the servants of God visit us. We very much enjoyed the visits from Brn. Smith, Littlejohn, and Byington, and are expecting the promised visit from good Father Bates. Our meeting-house is being erected as fast as possible. When it is finished, we shall very much want Bro. and Sr. White to make us a visit.
I often think what a pleasure it must have been to have our blessed Saviour visit the people when on earth, to talk to him, and be taught by him. I hope we are all striving so to live that we may feel his presence daily, and at last behold him as he is. What a blessed thought, that if we are faithful a little while, we can see Jesus, and talk with him. Then there will be no more sorrow, no tears, no afflictions; all will be joy and bliss. Oh! let us be faithful, work while we may, and rest by and by.
Pray for us, that we may hold out faithful unto the end, and at last be among the redeemed on Mount Zion.
