A Penitent’s True Character
BRo. WHITE: While reading in the Review the responses to Testimony No. 6, I was reminded of my own faults. I have not neglected thus long from an unwillingness to publicly confess, but I felt that God had forgiven me, and did not feel called up on this point; but lest I may leave some duty undone, I wish to say that I have exercised myself in things too high for me, which I deeply regret. I have been trying to profit by the reproof since it was given, and to quiet myself as a weaned child. I grieve that I should have caused grief and care to God's people, and still more that I should grieve good angels, and most of all that I should displease God. I wish to gather with the people of God, and not scatter. I need the strength, prayers and care of the church.

West Winfield, N. Y. P. S. This would have been forwarded at an earlier date but for sickness. Be assured, dear brother and sister White, that a visit from you, when you journey East, would be very welcome. We do not feel worthy.
