Growing Stronger in Present Truth
By Calista M. Coburn
From Sister C. M. Coburn. DEAR BRO. WHITE: I write a few lines to let you know that we are growing stronger and stronger in the present truth, and are endeavoring "to walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord's house blameless." Although we are separated from those of "like precious faith," yet the Lord remembereth us, and verifies his promise, that where two or three are gathered in his name there is he in the midst. His down-trodden commandments are very precious to us, and we find it good to obey the Lord and call upon his name. Our dear Bro. Wheeler visited us recently, and we had a profitable interview. Though short, yet it was blessed of the Lord. Since I attended the meeting at Royalton I have enjoyed my mind far better than before. O, praise the Lord, the true light is shining, and I desire to receive the light, and walk in it, and be sanctified through obeying the truth, so as to perfectly overcome every wrong word and action. The paper is a great comfort to us, and we truly feel that it is "meat in due season." I would ask an interest in your prayers that we may be faithful, and endure even unto the end. Yours in hope of immortality at the appearing of Jesus. CALISTA M. COBURN.
