By Sarah S. M'Lain

From Sister M'Lain.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I am trying in weakness to keep all the commandments of God ; but I feel the need of a deeper work of grace in order to gain the victory over the temptations that are ever crossing my path, and to bear cheerfully the trials that meet me in the way.

I am thankful that I have found at last what I believe to be the true church. I used to wish within myself to know which was the right way ; for each one of the different sects or denominations professed to be right, while all the rest were wrong. It never looked right to me for people professing to be followers of the meek and lowly Lamb, and having one object in view, namely, to gain heaven, to be divided into so many classes, and all at variance with each other. But thanks to our Physician, I have had a few applications of the eye-salve, and begin to see that I am to search the Scriptures for counsel, instead of the traditions of men.

The Review is all the preacher I have ; but I feel very thankful to get as much as that, for it has been a great help to me. May the Lord bless the messengers that are trying to get the truth before the people.

Yours hoping for eternal life.
