SARAH CLARKE

By Sarah Clarke

From Sister Clarke.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: A short time since a friend said to me, “I am in the dark the most of my time, and I was thinking yesterday of every member of our church (United Brethren) to see whether there was one to whom I could go for light, comfort or consolation, or advice what to do; but not one could I think of that could help me in the least.”
Truly we can say, Babylon is fallen, on the authority of such testimony as this. This is also a fulfillment of the words of the prophet Isaiah, where he says, To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, there is no light in them. Truly those who have the third message, the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus; have great reason to rejoice and praise the Lord.
David says, The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; and he also says, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
