ALIDA BROWN

By Alida Brown

From Sister Brown.

BRO. WHITE: I have often felt a desire to say a few words to the brethren and sisters through the Review, having so often been cheered by hearing from them.

When I read yours headed, The scattered flock, I determined to try to bear some humble part in the work. I love the Review. It is nearly all the preaching I have had for a long time. He that loved to go with me to the house of prayer is now resting in the silent grave, and I have to depend upon others.

Last Sabbath I had the privilege of meeting with the Brn. and Srs. at Princeville. It was truly a privilege to me. At the commencement of the meeting Bro. Blanchard made a few appropriate remarks, then gave the time to the Brn. and Sisters. The time was well

improved, and I believe all were blessed and strengthened.

To-day I met with them again and the Lord met with us by his Spirit. Every heart seemed to overflow with love.

I have had many trials and sorrows, but the Lord has not left me to bear them alone. He is my strength and my refuge, a present help in time of trouble, blessed be his holy name. I am striving to know and do my Master's will. Pray for me Brn. and Srs. that I may deal faithfully with the children committed to my care, that they may seek the Saviour in their youth and go with the remnant to Mount Zion.

Yours striving to overcome.
