SOPHIA E. ADSIT

By Sophia E. Adsit

From Sister Adsit.
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It is now more than six years since I embraced the present truth. For some time I enjoyed that peace which none but the blessed Saviour can give; but by and by I began to grow lukewarm, and to neglect my duty; but I thank the Lord for the way he has led me. While I was so slow to heed the counsel of the faithful and true Witness, he has been very kind to me, and has not forsaken me, for which I would praise his holy name forever.
About two years since I was taken sick with a disease of the lungs, which reduced me so that to all appearance my stay here was short. At the late conference held at Catlin, I called for the elders of the church to pray for me. and the Lord heard the prayer of faith, and rebuked the disease. Praise his holy name! My health is fast improving, and I feel to gird on the armor anew, and to live nearer the Lord than I ever yet have done. I believe that time is short, and I want to so live that when the Message rises I may be prepared to rise with it. I feel that we are living in a very solemn time, when we need to watch and be sober. I want to be just what the Lord would have me to be, that I may be prepared to stand before the Son of man at his appearing. The little church in Catlin are striving to overcome. The Lord is still working for his children in this place.
Yours hoping for victory.
