Striving for Immortality at Christ’s Appearing
By Olive Hamilton
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—As the poor widow's two mites were acceptable to God, I feel desirous, though very unworthy, of bearing some humble part with the people of God; therefore I would say to my brethren and sisters scattered abroad, that I am not discouraged in striving to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. I feel the necessity of living a more self-denying, watchful, prayerful life before God that I may have my lamp trimmed and burning and be received into the marriage supper of the Lamb. My heart is made to rejoice when reading the communications from the brethren and sisters through the Review. I seem to gather some of the rich clusters of Eschol. I desire an interest in your prayers at the throne of grace that I may be an overcomer through the blood of the everlasting covenant, that I may be clothed with a garment of Christ's righteousness, that I may have that faith which takes hold of the promises of God and reaches to that within the vail where our forerunner has gone. Your sister in Christ, striving for immortality at the appearing of the Saviour.
OLIVE HAMILTON.
