Victory in Our Saviour’s Name
By William A. Raymond
Bro. Wm. A. Raymond writes from Linn, Wis., May, 1858: "I feel lonely and sick of this world, but how encouraging is the prospect before the saints! Although trials await us, yet the glory that is soon to be revealed, when Jesus will come, buoys us up above them all. I feel that I can say with the poet: "Lord, obediently we'll go,
Gladly leaving all below.
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
Follow thee to joys on high.
Though in trials deep we sigh,
Victory still we loud proclaim,
Victory in our Saviour's name." I am determined by the grace of God to see the end of the race. When it is convenient for some of the messengers to come this way, I would be glad to have them call on me. There are a few honest ones in this place, I think. Come, Bro. Phelps, I claim your promise that you would come and see me. I will do as I agreed. I live five miles south of Geneva, and six miles east of Douglass Corners one quarter of a mile south of the Big Foot and Geneva Road. Inquire for the red tavern, and then you can find me; or any that wish to call can find a hearty welcome."
