The Little Church in Salem
By Sister L. M. Locke
Sister L. M. Locke writes from Salem, Ind., Dec. 18th, 1857: “There are still a few here that are striving to overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, that they may finally inherit eternal life with the sanctified in the kingdom of God. But we are indeed a lonely few. We have been looking for and expecting some of the preaching brethren to visit us again, for a long time, but have been disappointed thus far; yet we are still hoping and praying the Lord to send some of his servants to meet with us once more. O how rejoiced we should be if Bro. and Sr. White could come and spend a few days with us this Winter. There are only nine of us here that are Sabbath-keepers who meet together for64prayer-meetings, besides the children. We beg an interest in your prayers for the little church in Salem, and if we are not permitted to meet again on earth, may we finally meet in the kingdom of God to part no more forever.”
