A Sister Alone in the Truth
By Abbey B. Huntley
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It is with feelings of gratitude to our kind heavenly Father for his goodness to us, that I hear of the encouraging prospects of the cause of truth. My heart is with God's people, and I can truly say that their joys are my joys, and their sorrows are my sorrows. I can sympathize with every tried and afflicted servant of God. I am alone here in the truth, and often feel very lonely. I often wish that I could be placed in a situation where I might enjoy the society of God's children; but the fond thought comes to mind that soon if faithful, we can enjoy each other's society to all eternity. Blessed thought! 'Tis this hope that cheers me. O let us try to prove faithful. Let us arise and gird on the whole armor of God, so that we may be able to stand in that evil day. I want my ornaments to be those of a meek and quiet spirit. I want to be humble. The apostle Peter says: "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time." Then, dear brethren and sisters, if we would be exalted hereafter we must be humble now. Let us deny ourselves of all ungodliness and worldly lusts, and live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. I ask an interest in the prayers of God's children, that I may prove faithful, and gain a seat in the kingdom. Your sister in Christ. ABBEY B. HUNTLEY.
