ROSANNAH SMALLEY

By Rosannah Smalley

From Sister Smalley.

BRO. SMITH: Situated as we are here among those that trample God's holy law under foot, I feel thankful for the weekly visits of the Review. Am also thankful that the counsel of the true Witness is sounding in my ears, and that I can see some of my poverty and wretchedness. O I want the warning to settle down deep into my heart, so that I shall fully heed it and be zealous and repent. I want to see and confess all my wrongs, that my sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Truly we are living in a solemn time. The Testimony to the Church, No. 4, thrilled through my whole soul. In the shaking there spoken of, I sometimes fear that I shall be shaken out; but I mean by the grace of God to strive with all my heart to enter in at the strait gate. I am thankful that I feel his chastening rod upon me; for the Saviour says, As many as I love I rebuke and chasten. I am glad that God is fitting up a company to stand on Mount Zion.
