Letters.

By Eliza C. Crandall

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

From Sister Crandall.

BRO. WHITE: With a thankful heart I wish to write a few lines for the Review. I can say to-day that I thank my God for what he has done for me, and for what he is still doing. I am striving to keep the commandments of God that I may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. I want to live so that when Jesus shall come, I can meet him with joy, and not with grief. This world is not our home. If we are only faithful a little while longer we shall reach the land of rest.

Let us search our hearts as with a lighted candle and see if they are right; and if not make haste to set them right.

Let us have on the whole armor and fight manfully the good fight of faith. I am willing to become anything or nothing for the sake of Christ. I want to be weaned from the world. I will strive to make heaven my home. It is my determination to walk in that straight and narrow path that is cast up for the ransomed people of God to walk in. I want to hold out faithful to the end that I may meet you all where parting can never come.

Your sister striving to overcome. ELIZA C. CRANDALL.

Scio, N. Y.
