Encouragement for an Isolated Believer
By E. J. Newson
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—It is a pleasure and I trust a profit to me that I have the Review to read: it and my Bible being all the preaching that I have, being alone here in trying to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. When I read the communications from the brethren and sisters, it encourages me to try to so live that I may have a right to the tree of life, and with them enter in through the gates into the city. I am glad that there is a portion of the paper devoted to that purpose; for it is a great comfort to one that is alone to read them, and to meditate on the goodness of God in uniting so many of his children in keeping his commandments. It is my desire to so live that I may let my light shine before men, that they may see my good works and glorify my Father which is in heaven. Yours in Christ. E. J. NEWSON.
