FRANCES STRONG

From Sister Strong.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I rejoice to hear through the columns of the Review of the farther advancement of the cause of present truth, and that there is an interest being awakened in the hearts of God's dear children, to the great work that lies before them.—Zion's watchmen are out upon the walls of Zion. O, let them not cease to give the cry, and raise the last warning voice, to the scattered and torn flock of Jesus. Although trials and afflictions await them and they are almost worn out with labor and fatigue, yet if faithful they will soon reap a glorious reward.
O that every soul might be awake to their everlasting interest, and with their prayers and means help to hold up the hands of those who stand in the front of the battle, and speed on the swift messengers. Our foes are awake, and are making all the efforts in their power to hinder the work, and to keep back those who are willing to do the will of the Lord. Then let us endure hardness as good soldiers of the cross of Christ, and fight manfully the battles of our Lord, that we may but win Christ and be found of him, not having on our own righteousness, but that which is of Christ. It is through great tribulation that the saints will enter the promised land. These are they that have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, therefore are they without fault before the throne of God.
