Striving to Overcome

Sister Baker writes from Alleghany, Potter Co., Pa., May, 1857: "I have been striving for a few years past to serve God by keeping all his commandments, and feel that I have been blessed in so doing. Although I fail in many things of doing my duty, yet I mean by the grace of God assisting me to lay aside every weight and the sin that doth so easily beset me, and run with patience the race set before me.
"It is very seldom that I have the privilege of meeting with those of like precious faith, and the Review is a welcome messenger to me. It cheers my heart to read the communications from the brethren and sisters. I love the precious truths it advocates. I feel sensible of my weakness and unworthiness, and desire and beg an interest in the prayers of the saints, that I may be zealous and repent, lest I be found without the wedding garment."
