Building on the Rock

Sister M. B. Pierce writes from Andover, Vt. : "I feel that I must be among those who shall hear the sayings of Jesus and do them. Matt. vii, 24, 25. The storm is coming; and we must have our foundation on the rock, or it will be overthrown. While the blessed Saviour is patiently bearing with us, and is our merciful high priest, shall we, can we, be indifferent and let this last chance slip by? My heart answers, No. I will try to be zealous and repent of all sin and error, and confess the same, and seek meekness, until I shall be guided in judgment fully. Ps. xxv, 9. The promises of the Lord never seemed more precious than of late. While we are in this world of sorrow, pain, trial and death, how good to know what the Lord has in reserve for the faithful. Then let us endure temptation; for 'blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life.' James i, 12.
