Sister N. Gibbs on the South Lancaster Camp-meeting
By Sister N. Gibbs
SISTER N. GIBBS writes from Massachusetts: I had the privilege of attending the South Lancaster Camp-meeting, for which I praise God. To me it was a good meeting. It was a feast of fat things, wines on the lees, well refined. I was strengthened and encouraged to go on my way. My faith was increased. Praise God for that meeting. I have a great work to do in order to stand when the Lord appeareth. I want to come up with God's people without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. It is a great thing to be dead to the world, and to self, and to sin; to be willing to be killed all the day long, to be counted as sheep for the slaughter, but we can do all things, Christ strengthening us; for all things are possible to him that believeth. I desire more fully to realize that we are in the investigative Judgment; that thousands of thousands of heavenly assistants are attending our great High Priest in his ministry, and soon it will be finished, and the decree go forth, He that is holy, and he that is filthy, let him so remain. What manner of persons ought we to be! How careful ought we to live. I must watch and pray, lest coming suddenly the Lord should find me sleeping. Soon Jesus will come. Truly, this is my song. It “Cheers the heart when joys depart,
And foes are pressing strong.” Oh! that I might be kept through faith by the mighty power of God till Jesus comes.
