Striving for Eternal Life
By Mary R. Nichols
DEAR FRIENDS: It seems a long time to me since I have had the privilege of enjoying the society of those who are keeping the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus; but God has been with us, and I feel to praise his holy name. I believe that those who put their trust in God, he will never leave nor forsake. O let us live nearer the Lord. I believe we shall have all we can do to get through to the kingdom. Let us work while the day lasts, and be prepared to meet him in peace. O who would not give up this wicked world? My prayer is that I may overcome and get the victory over every temptation, and reign with him in glory. With the help of the Lord I mean to meet you where parting will be no more. Yours striving for eternal life.
MARY R. NICHOLS.
