EUNICE C. LAMOREAUX

By Eunice C. Lamoreaux

From Sister Lamoreaux.

BRO. SMITH: My heart is made to rejoice as I read cheering communications from dear brethren and sisters in different parts of the land. I am glad that the message is rising, and the Lord grant that I may rise with it. I believe the message to the Laodiceans is present truth. Jesus has said, 'not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.' O brethren and sisters, let us do the will of the Father, by keeping all his Commandments and the Faith of Jesus.

When I think what we must be to stand in the trying time before us, I am led to exclaim, 'who may abide the day of his coming?' Then I look again and see the many precious promises in the word of God, such as 'My grace is sufficient for thee,' and, 'God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to bear, but will with the temptation make a way of escape;' and again, 'Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.' When I think of such promises, I feel to thank God and take courage. O let us get on the whole armor, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of Satan, that we may get the victory over all our besetting sins, and come off conquerors through him that has loved us. Let us bear in mind continually what the faithful and true Witness says: 'Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in his throne.' Let not the love of the world bar the Saviour out of our hearts; but let us overcome by the word of our testimony and the blood of the Lamb.
