L. C. TOLHURST

By L. C. Tolhurst

From Sister Tolhurst.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I would like to say through our precious sheet, the Review, that there are still a few names of us in Columbia that love the truths of the third angel's message. We meet every Sabbath when the roads are passable. Some have to go seven miles. We feel the need of being organized. There are several brethren and sisters who live eight and ten miles from us, who desire to be organized with us.

Bro. Hutchinson met with us last September. We had a good meeting. All that were present could testify that the Spirit of the Lord was in our meeting. Love ran from heart to heart. We expect Bro. Hutchinson again in two weeks.

I have just returned from the church in Wright, Michigan, where two of my sisters lie side by side. They sleep in Jesus. They wait the morn of the resurrection. They died in the love of the truth. With this church I also saw how remarkably the prayer of faith was answered in rebuking disease upon Bro. McPherson after three had, in so short a time yielded to the enemy, death. God manifested his power in rebuking disease. My spirit cries for faith, the faith that God is able to perform that which he has promised. I do feel thankful for the feeling in my heart that I have of confidence in the power of God. I desire to humble myself before God, under the affliction which I have been passing through. Pray for me, that as earthly helps and comforts are one after another taken, I may be led to seek more and more from the only true source.

Yours in affliction.
