A Home for Pilgrims

Bro. T. Draper writes from Farmersburg, Iowa, April 10th, 1857: "There are many of the '43 & 4 Adventists that I think would be glad to know that I am striving to live the preparation life, standing by faith, and waiting with patience the coming of the Master. Praise his name with the whole heart! I am filled with praise and thanksgiving to see by the letters of the brethren and sisters that they are striving for the tried gold, (the faith once delivered to the saints,) and the white robe, (Christ's righteousness.) I am made to rejoice in that the progress of the cause has made a power press necessary to do the work of the Office. Although I am old (fourscore) and poor, I think I shall be able to help a little, according as the Lord prospers me. I think it is good to serve God by sacrifice. I would again notify the brethren that may come this way that I still have a home for pilgrims, one half mile west of the meeting-house in this town."
