Testimony from the Mauston Church
Sister Fanny Rogers writes from Mauston, Wis.: "While reading Testimony No. 6, I felt that it was just what the church needed. I can say I fully believe it has done me good, and I desire to further profit by it. If I know my own heart I want every wrong made right. While reading Causes of Discouragement, and the Testimony, the scales fell from my eyes, and also from my companion's. We felt that the Lord spoke to us in that Testimony. I would say to Bro. and sister White, You have many warm friends who sympathize with you. But above all, Jesus knows all the sorrow and anguish of your hearts, and the sacrifices you have made for him. A crown of glory awaits you if you hold out faithful a little longer. You are remembered by us when we bow around the family altar, and I love in secret to offer up my feeble petitions for the messengers who are proclaiming the last message of mercy, especially for those who are leading in the van of God's hosts, and are bearing the burden of the work. O may the Lord support, sustain and encourage you in all your arduous labors, is my prayer. What I have said of myself I think I can say of the Mauston church generally. There has been a great re-action here since the reign of wild fanaticism. Bro. and sister W. have their warmest sympathies and their prayers. We were sorely disappointed in not receiving a visit from them. It seems as though they might have done a great deal of good here. I think many hearts here are prepared to receive them with affection and love for their work's sake. I trust it will be all for the best."
