LETTERS.

By B. J. Carpenter

“Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another.”

From Sister Carpenter.

BRO. SMITH: I seat myself for the first time to write a few lines to the Review. It will be two years next July since I commenced to keep the Sabbath. During this time I have made but slow progress. About two months ago I longed for the evidence that the Lord loved me, and felt that I would be willing to make any sacrifice, and bring all and lay it upon the altar. My prayer was, Lord make duty plain. Strengthen me and I will take up every cross and follow thee. I want a home in heaven. I mean to be found among the faithful, and gathered with the remnant. We meet with trials on the way, but none too many to keep us near to God.

I am living in Marengo, Iowa. I moved from Iowa City the first of January. I do not know of any Sabbath-keepers about here. If there are any I should be very glad to have them call on me. I live two blocks east of the Iowa House.

B. J. CARPENTER.
