Preparing for Christ’s Second Advent
Sister C. Pixley writes from Pleasant Grove, Minn.: "I love the Review, because it seems to inspire a spirit of searching the Scriptures to see whether these things are so. Though it does not bring much war news, it tells us of a land of peace which is cheering to us amid the perils of the last days. I believe Christ's second advent into this world is not far distant. I believe that the moral law, every command, is binding on us to the end of time. I wish to do God's commandments that I may have right to the tree of life. I want to have right views of God's word. I want that faith which works by love and purifies the heart. I believe I have no idols in dress, food, or drink, but what I can resign. It seems to be hard struggling to get along here, but my prayer to God is that he would thoroughly purge out the old leaven, that we may be prepared for every good word and work."
