A Letter from Sister Andrews
Sister M. E. Andrews writes from N. Y. City, July 5th, 1856:—"I hope, though strangers comparatively in the flesh, that we are not altogether so, in the Spirit of our dear Redeemer, and the present truth. I love the paper; it is cheering; was well pleased with the Advent history; should have liked more. "I love to look back on our past experience. Truly those were happy days. I remember we could not go on a steamboat and find a few of like precious faith but they would make the boat almost ring with their songs of Zion, and sometimes we would have a lecture on the near coming of the Lord. If it was truth then, is it less true now? and should we faint and go back now we have got so much nearer the port of eternal rest? No! rather let us put on the whole armor, watch the way, keep the munition, fortify our power, strengthen our loins with truth, and press the battle to the gate."
