SARAH PATCH

By Sarah Patch

From Sister Patch.

Bro. Smith: I feel like writing a few lines to the scattered saints who are keeping God's holy law. I feel to praise the Lord that he has given me a place with his dear people. Were it not that he careth for the weakest, I should faint by the way. I feel to praise his holy name for his many mercies that he is bestowing upon me.
It is about five years since I commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord, and I have ever found it good to wait on him.
I am glad that there is a way for God's people to communicate with one another. Often our hearts are encouraged by the warm exhortations and testimonies that we receive through the Review.
It rejoices me to hear that the cause is rising in the West, and that souls are being gathered in. Truth is mighty and must prevail. Our trials have been severe for some time past, on account of the false doctrine of the "Age to come," which has prevailed somewhat in this section.
O that the Lord would send some one this way that would present the whole truth. I still feel like striving to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony, that I may one day meet with the redeemed on mount Zion.
