Striving to Overcome

By B. M. Hibbard

From Sister Hibbard.

BRO. WHITE: As I am not permitted to meet often with the people of God, I desire to say a few words through the Review. I am not discouraged by any means, but feel encouraged to press on and strive to overcome every besetting sin, that when Jesus comes, I may be found clothed, not with my own righteousness, but with the righteousness of Christ. I feel to rejoice that the light of present truth is shining on our pathway. How plain it is that we are living in the last days, and that perilous times are close upon us, and yet how few realize it! How important that we guard well our words and actions, that we bring no reproach upon the cause of God. I feel a strong desire from day to day to live nearer my God, and desire to have the Holy Spirit to guide me through all the duties of life. I sincerely desire the prayers of God's people, that I may so live here, as to share with them the blessings of the new earth, when the saints take the kingdom.

Yours striving to overcome. B. M. HIBBARD.
