ANGELINE JOHNSON

By Angeline Johnson

From Sister Johnson.

BRO. WHITE: I would say to the dear saints scattered abroad, that I am still striving for the kingdom of my Redeemer. My earnest desire is to be ready, having on the wedding garment, and adorned with a meek and quiet spirit, that when Jesus comes, I may enter in to the marriage supper of the Lamb. When I contemplate the beauties of that blessed land which is to be the future home of the faithful, my heart is filled with rapture and praise to my Saviour that such a great plan of salvation was provided for man, that we might by fulfilling the conditions thereof, become joint heirs with him of the kingdom which God has promised to them that love him.

I am striving to make my peace, calling, and election sure, before the storm of wrath shall pass over the earth to lay the land desolate. I have thrown aside every known idol, and am daily searching my heart to see if all is right in the sight of my Master. The world no longer has any charms for me.

“Let worldly minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once I admired its trifles too, But grace has set me free. “As by the light of opening day, The stars are all conceal’d; So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is reveal’d.”

Yours striving for eternal life.
