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

From Sister Osgood.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: My heart is cheered as I read from week to week the cheering epistles from the brethren and sisters in the Review. Though most of them are written by those whom I have never seen, and probably never shall "till this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal immortality," yet I can rejoice in the same hope they express, can look forward to the same period for the termination of all my trials and sorrows, if only faithful to God a little while longer.

Yes, when I look abroad and witness the ravages of war in our own land, and also other unmistakable signs of the period in which we are living, I feel to thank God for the promise of new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Yes, my dear brethren and sisters, I believe that ere long Jesus will come to change our vile bodies, that they may be fashioned like unto his own glorious body, and then, and not till then, shall we appreciate fully the value of the great sacrificial offering that was made for our sins.

Your sister striving to overcome. B. M. OSGOOD. Lairdville, N. Y.
