Sister Allen’s Pilgrimage and Hope
By H. A. Allen
Bro. Smith : I would like to say a few words through the Review. I feel that I am but a pilgrim and stranger in the land. I am journeying to a better land, where my Saviour will wipe all tears, and where trials and persecution will never come. I often feel lonely when I am traveling with my companion among strangers in the flesh, and strangers to God and the truth; but my trust is in God who has given such blessed promises to all those that shall endure to the end. We have sacrificed home and friends to go and attend to our heavenly Father's call, and warn a gainsaying world of their danger, and of the things that are shortly to come upon the earth, that they may be ready. But many will scoff at the commandments of God and the soon coming of the Saviour, but when we have done all that God requires at our hands we will leave the event with him who is just and good. I can say with the Psalmist, "I delight in the law of the Lord;" for it is holy, just and good, and not grievous to be borne by those who truly love their God with all their heart, and do not want to worship the beast nor his image. I desire to so order my ways in this life, that I may be judged worthy to enter in through the gates into the city, and have right to the tree of life together with all God's dear children who are scattered abroad.
