Striving to Overcome in the Truth
By M. Bean
Bro. WHITE: I would like to say to the dear brethren and sisters through the Review, that I am striving to overcome, and I believe that by the help of the Lord I shall overcome and go through to the mount Zion; and having this blessed hope, it buoys me up under all my trials, of whatever sort they may be. I have had a good share of trials, but hitherto the Lord has been my helper, and having obtained help of him, I am still the monument of his saving mercy. I love the Review, and am comforted and blessed from week to week in reading it. I feel warmly attached to all that write for it. I also take a deep interest in Spiritual Gifts, and Testimonies to the Church; they always do me good. I often wonder how any Sabbath-keeper can reject the gifts which the Lord has seen fit to place in the church, for the benefit and comfort of the remnant church in these last days of peril. For one, I feel to say, Let the Lord send by whom he will, and work as he pleases. I praise the Lord that I ever have been led into the truth of the last message to this world. I thank the Lord that I have a place with his dear people. I often feel to say, Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love.
Yours, looking for redemption.
M. BEAN.
