“Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another.”

From Sister St. Clair.

BRO. WHITE: Permit me to say through the Review that my faith is daily strengthened in the soon coming of Jesus, and I am determined to try to live more by the moment. I believe it will only be a little time that we shall be permitted to use our influence and our means in spreading the good news of a Saviour's coming; for soon he will be here, and then what will we care for the honor or the goods of this poor, dark, world? By the grace of God I mean to do all my duty, to have my work done, and well done; but it is a constant employment to watch and pray against the temptations of Satan.
We begin to sympathize with the lonely ones, who have none of like precious faith to meet with upon the Sabbath, as there is only one brother besides my husband, and myself, here; but this does not discourage us. The Lord meets us in the closet and at the family altar. During the Sabbath that has just passed, I was blest and made joyful in the Lord. Oh, that I had language to praise the Lord for his goodness. I would exclaim with David, "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places." I want to be prepared for that holy society that I expect soon to join. I want the spotless robe, the palm, and the crown, and be permitted to praise the Lord upon mount Zion.
Your sister in Christ.
