Grant Co., Wis

By O. A. Ganiard

From Sister Ganiard.

WITH feelings of gratitude I attempt to write a few lines, to cheer or encourage some lonely brother or sister. I feel unworthy and incompetent to write, but I do not feel excused on these grounds. It is nearly four years that I have been identified with Seventh-day Adventists. During that time I have been trying to learn in the school of Christ, and to-day am satisfied that my effort has not been in vain, for I know that Jesus has the words of life; and may our Heavenly Father ever give us grace and faith to submit to the instruction given us through the law of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the testimonies of the Spirit. With these I feel it is our privilege to go on to perfection. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. For the first time I had the privilege of attending the camp-meeting at Milton Junction. I feel that I was richly paid for the effort I made to go to that meeting. I do feel determined by the help of the Lord to profit by the words written for our instruction. I do desire to do right, to be an humble, every-day Christian. I will seek for a daily and a living experience, do every duty, bear every cross, to have the favor of God and the abiding witness of his Spirit that my ways please him, that I may have a home in his kingdom when Jesus comes.
