Faithfulness Amid Trials

Sister S. A. Jessip writes from Calhoun Co., Mich.: "We all have a work to do; and I sometimes fear I have neglected my duty too much because I was poor and all alone, there being none of like precious faith near me. I had almost given up in despair, but I have taken new courage. Yes, praise the Lord, I mean to be faithful to his suffering cause. I want to be one of that blessed number that will stand upon mount Zion, singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. By the friendly aid of Bro. Kelsey, I have received the Review again for which I am truly thankful.
"When I think of the great love which God had for us in sending his only begotten Son into this world to suffer and die for us, my whole soul is drawn out in love to God. O for words to express my gratitude to him for his loving kindness unto me. I delight in the holy law: it is my meditation all the day. When I think how little I reflect the lovely image of Jesus, I sometimes fear I shall never get into the kingdom. I want to have my life squared by the Word. I want to be cleansed from all sin, that when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, I may share its glorious blessing and be prepared to stand in the time of trouble, that I may have right to the tree of life and enter in through the gates into the City."
