Overcoming in Perilous Times
By Priscilla Barrows
Bro. Smith: Permit me to say to my dear brethren and sisters that I am trying to overcome, and that the message to the Laodiceans is still having an influence upon my heart. I want to make the consecration that is required, that I may be right. I realize that we are living in the perilous times of the last days, and we need to have on the whole armor, that we may be able to withstand the wiles of the enemy. I am truly thankful for the many good exhortations and faithful warnings from my brethren and sisters. Glory be to God for the privilege of communicating our thoughts, our trials and our determinations to one another through the Review. We have preaching enough in the Review to make us wise unto salvation if we will but heed it. How humble and watchful and prayerful we ought to live every day, lest we get out of the way. We are deprived of the privilege here of meeting with those of like precious faith on the Sabbath. Dear brethren and sisters when you are assembled together, put up one petition for the lonely ones. Your sister in the love of the truth.
PRISCILLA BARROWS.
