Sharing the Burden of the Cause
By Editor
Sister Sarah J. Gardner writes from Vergennes, Mich.:— “If we are all one family of brethren we should not let the burden rest upon a few; we should aid with our means, as well as our prayers. (whosoever is of a willing heart let him bring an offering to the Lord, Ex. xxxv. 5 ) to spread this glorious truth to the world that souls who are now starving for the truth may be awakened to their awful condition—without hope and without God in the world. O that they might secure to themselves eternal life which is offered to them without money and without price. “I am glad there is a way open for the remnant to speak often to each other; for when the mind is cast down, discouraged or gloomy, we can find something there as well as in the word of God, to encourage us onward; and often our hearts are cheered by the exhortations and testimonies we have in the paper from those of like precious faith. Our hearts beat high in love and union with those, whom having never seen, we hope to meet in that happy throng, that shall never be severed. The moments we have at present are precious. I have an ardent desire to get the victory over every besetting sin and confess them while Jesus is in the Sanctuary that they may be blotted out; and my name be enrolled in the Lamb's book of life.”
