LETTERS.

By Charlotte Bourdeau

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

From Sister Bourdeau.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I have felt desirous to say a few words in the Review ever since I have been trying, in my weakness, to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus; and I would for the first time say a word to the brethren and sisters.

About six years ago I embraced the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. But it was some time after I commenced to keep the Sabbath before I saw the light in regard to the third angel's message and the truths connected with it, which relate to the near approach of the Saviour; but as fast as the light shone on my mind I felt to rejoice in the truth. And while I realized the importance of having the whole truth, I was satisfied that a mere profession would never save us. Only those that do the commandments have the promise of having right to the tree of life, and entering in through the gates into the city.

I do want to be consecrated to the service of my Lord and Master, that I may have clean hands and a pure heart when the Lord will make up his jewels, and spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. The Lord is good and his promises are sure. My desire is to overcome, and continue faithful in doing all his righteous will, that I may have his approbation, and finally share in the reward which he has in reserve for all the good and the blest.

Your sister seeking for eternal life.

CHARLOTTE BOURDEAU.
