C. M. L

By Caroline M. Lunger

From Sister Lunger.

Bro. Smith: I praise the Lord for what I see and hear of the cause of present truth. It is three years this Summer since I began to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. Praise his name that we ever heard the sound of the Third Angel's Message. We were much strengthened by the preaching of Bro. Cornell. There is quite an interest awakening in this place. The harvest is plenteous but the laborers are few. My prayer is that the Lord will send forth more laborers into the field, that the Third Angel's Message may sound louder and louder till the jewels are all gathered.

It seems that darkness has covered the earth and gross darkness the people. They say, "If the Lord ever comes it will not be either in your day or mine," but we read of scoffers in the last days saying, Where is the promise of his coming? O that I may be prepared to meet my Saviour when he comes. I am striving in weakness to overcome that I may be of the number that shall inherit all things.

Yours in hope.

Caroline M. Lunger.

P. S. If there could some one of the preaching brethren come here and give a course of lectures, I think it would do much good. There has not been much preaching in this place on the subject of the present truth.
