Encouragement from Sister McMullen of Illinois
By E. L. McMullen
Sr. E. L. McMullen writes from Iroquois Co., Ill.: I would like to say a few words of encouragement to the readers of our much-loved paper. I have read your testimonies, and have been encouraged to press my way toward Heaven and immortal glory. I have been trying to keep all the commandments of God since last October. Truly, the Sabbath is a delight unto me. Although many times “lonely and weary, by sorrow oppressed,” yet the Lord is my refuge in every hour of trial. I beg of you to remember me at the throne of grace, that I may not grow weary in well doing, but that I may endure unto the end, and at last receive the looked-for crown of everlasting life, which Christ the Lifegiver will bestow upon all those that love his appearing. I am all weakness, but my sufficiency is of God. He has told us in his word that he would never leave nor forsake us. Blessed promise! Let us be faithful a little while longer, and we shall hear the welcome, “Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
