Prosperity of Zion

By M. S. Finch

From Sister Finch.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I want to tell you a little of the prosperity of Zion in this place. The band of believers here number about thirty. We have prayer and conference meetings three times a week, and they are increasing in interest, and I am constrained to say the Lord does indeed meet with us, and many times in mighty power. The people of God are rising here, and gaining strength, (as I never have seen them before,) and I believe never to fall again. They seem to feel the importance of having their daily walk, their life and conversation such as will please the Lord, and of having their words well chosen, and seasoned with grace. We read, "But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation." 1 Pet. i, 15. And the Psalmist says, "To him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God."
"So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine." Yours in love, M. S. FINCH.
