Encouragement from the Review
Sister J. A. Hayden writes from Madison, Me.: “Often when I have been cast down and almost discouraged, have I been encouraged to press onward with redoubled diligence, and felt as though I had really enjoyed a conference of commandment-keepers, (which in the providence of God I never was permitted to enjoy) after reading the Review. “It has not been quite two years since I commenced keeping the commandments. I have met with considerable opposition and trial on the way since then, as I was the only one in the place, yet the Lord has given me my father and mother to go with me since then, and I do not wish by any means to complain of the way; for if we grow weary we can rest on the promises of God; if we hunger we can eat the precious words of life; if thirsty, we can draw from the well of salvation; and if we chance to sicken we can apply to the great Physician, whose skill was never baffled, and whose help was never sought in vain.”
