POLLY G. PITTS

By Polly G. Pitts

From Sister Pitts.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—The Review is a welcome messenger, and may the Lord grant that it may be ably sustained. May it hold up the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, the patience of the saints, until we all come into the unity of the Spirit, in the bonds of peace; and gospel order is established throughout the host of God's elect. I can say, One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and inquire in the temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me upon a rock. And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies around about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea I will sing praises unto the Lord. And, blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight; my goodness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I trust. May the Lord give us strength to take unto us the whole armor of God, that we may stand in this evil day. And may none of us boast when we get this armor on, but wait with patience till the Master comes; and we can say, I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, I have finished my course, and hear the welcome plaudit, Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne. That this may be the happy lot of us all, for Jesus' sake, is the prayer of your unworthy sister.
