EMMA HOUSE

By Emma House

From Sister House.

BRO. WHITE: Although a stranger to most of the readers of the Review yet I feel that I am not a stranger to the truths advocated in its pages.

It is nearly three years since I commenced keeping the "Sabbath of the Lord" and I have found since trying to take the "yoke" of Christ upon me that it requires much grace and strength from on high to render it "easy" and the "burden" light; but I am willing to endure persecution and trial because of loving and trying in weakness to obey the truth; for a crown of eternal life looks brighter to me than all else beside, and I know if I would "reign" with Jesus I must also "suffer with him; if I would "enter into the kingdom" it must be "through much tribulation." It seems sometimes as though the "enemy of all righteousness" was doing his utmost to discourage, but if it only serves to drive me more closely to Him wherein is all strength, then it will be well.

We have had some encouraging seasons when Bro. Fuller has been with us. Quite a number, under his labors have been brought (we trust) to a "saving knowledge of the truth." May the Lord help us who profess his name, to be children indeed, "known and read of all men" and may all the honest in heart be speedily gathered into the fold of God. Hoping to be remembered when Jesus comes,

I remain your unworthy sister.
