Only a Letter.

Only a letter, a private one, written in connection with an order, and yet how hopeful and courageous it sounds. Listen:—

To the Signs of the Times: Please find enclosed $2.00, for which kindly renew my subscription to your highly appreciated paper. How much it has done toward building me up in this precious truth, our Father only knows. It does seem strange, even to me, to be ignored and scorned by former friends. (I once was a leading Sunday-school teacher in this parish.) My aged mother and myself have the extreme honor of being the only Sabbath-keepers for miles around. Dear Jesus does give me opportunities to speak the truth, and write the truth, and, I trust, live the truth. For three quarters mother and I have belonged to the Home Department of the Sabbath-school, and study the lessons, which keep us in touch with our brethren, and by holding our home school every Sabbath afternoon we find ourselves most blessedly built up in present truth.

Yours, loving the message,
