DELIAH C. ELMER

By Delilah C. Elmer

From Sister Elmer.

BRO. WHITE: I can hardly find words to express the gratitude I feel that God is again interesting some of his servants in behalf of the cause here in the East; for we have felt as though we were like sheep scattered without a shepherd.
It is true it has ever been cheering to us to hear of the prosperity of the cause in the West; but we have long looked forward with anxious desire to have the time come when the shepherds of Israel would begin to search and seek out the flock, Eze. xxx, 11, here in this part of the field, and establish system and order among us.
The subject of order in the church has ever looked beautiful to me, and the more I see and hear of it, the more beauty I see in it. Bro. Loughborough's labors here have left a cheering influence on God's people. We are encouraged to take hold anew and bear a humble part in this work, and thus help prepare the way for the messengers to labor more effectually. I feel daily like so striving that my influence may be such as to gather with Christ, that my works, words, and actions, may all tell for the truth, which I prize above everything else.
