Letters from the Brethren and Sisters
By Sarah Griggs
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—To me it seems quite appropriate to devote a part of the Review to letters from the brethren and sisters. It is, indeed, cheering to one depressed in spirit, not having the privilege of meeting with those of like precious faith, oftener than once in three or four months, to read of their faith and love for God's holy law, their rejoicing in the third angel's message, and ardent desire for the full salvation, and entire conformity to the image of the lovely Jesus. O that the Lord would give us more fully to realize the solemn time in which we are living. May God keep his children unspotted from the world unto the day of redemption, and bring out all the honest-hearted and raise up a people to shew forth his praise. I was glad to see your timely warning of "Dangers to which the remnant are exposed." We are truly living in perilous times, and,
> "Satan with malicious art,
> Watches each unguarded heart.
> But from Satan's malice free,
> Saints shall soon victorious be." I long for the time to come, when "the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
