MARY WILSON

By Mary Wilson

From Sister Wilson.

BRO. WHITE: For the first time, I attempt to acknowledge through the Review what the Lord has done for me. I, with my companion, embraced the truth under the labors of brethren M. E. Cornell and R. J. Lawrence, at Memphis. I feel to thank the Lord, who is rich in mercy, that he ever sent his servants this way to preach the Bible in its purity. There has been a good work done in and around Memphis, which I hope will continue to spread more and more. I feel to thank the Lord that he permitted me to see the light of the third angel's message and gave me a heart to receive it. I believe that this is the last message of mercy to a wicked world. And I desire to heed its warning voice by keeping all God's commandments and the faith of Jesus. I am a firm believer in spiritual gifts. I believe that God is at the head of this work, and that he is leading out a people to witness his coming, and to be prepared for translation.

I feel myself very unworthy to be numbered among God's chosen people; but Jesus is worthy, and it is through his worthiness I expect to be saved. May I so live from henceforth that when Jesus comes, I can join with all the redeemed and say, Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him and he will save us. Pray for me, that I may prove faithful, and at last meet all the overcomers on Mt. Zion, to behold the King in his beauty. Yours in hope of eternal life,
