SARAH CLARKE

By Sarah Clarke

From Sister Clarke.

BRO. SMITH:—I rejoice that my heart has been opened to receive the present truth, while so many are left to put light for darkness, and darkness for light. I can only praise and thank the Lord for his great goodness to me; first, in giving me parents who taught me the commandments, and gave me much good instruction which left serious impressions on my mind from childhood. But there was always something dark and mysterious to me, and I hardly dared indulge a hope until after receiving the present truth. I now have peace and joy in believing.

I have not a single doubt in regard to the present message's being the last. That the wheat and the tares are now being bound, and soon the last bundle will be bound, and we shall see the sign of the Son of man in heaven. My desire is to fully overcome, and be found with the wedding garment on, and be among those who will say, "This is our God, we have waited for him, he will save us."

I think I can truly say, I love his law, and his cause; and his word is more and more precious to me. I do rejoice that we can understand it, and know that his coming is near.
