Sister D. J. Stocking writes from Lapeer, Mich.: ‐The third angel’s message is now a light shining in a dark place. O precious truth that has brought us out of darkness into marvelous light! The wise man has said [Prov. xxiv, 10], ‘If thou faint in the day of adversity thy strength is small.’ But, bless the Lord, I know in whom my strength lieth. My trust is in God. My hope is in heaven. Although all earthly friends may forsake me, yet will the Lord take me up. I am determined to live out the truth, to keep the commandments, and be accounted worthy to escape the things which will soon come upon the earth.”
