A Sister’s Testimony and Appeal
By Harriet I. Wescott
BRO. WHITE: I am still trying to press my way on to Mount Zion. I believe that God is with his people, and hears and answers prayer. Praise his name. I am encouraged to see such prospects of peace in our land, that the third angel's message may go forth with power, and all the honest in heart may be prepared for the coming of Jesus. Oh how important it is that we all move in unison, and order all our ways aright before the Lord. I often tremble with fear lest the enemy of all righteousness creep in unawares and lead me astray. Having none to counsel with, I crave your prayers that I may be enabled to do my whole duty to God and my fellow-men. I would say for the encouragement of all who may be afflicted with asthma, that I have been much benefited by leaving off the use of pork. I can say with the woman mentioned in Mark v, 26, that I had suffered many things of many physicians and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, until about three months ago, when I threw away all medicine and made up my mind to try the health experience of some of the brethren; and thank the Lord for the result. When I came to read Disease and its Causes in Nos. 1, 2 and 3 of "Health, or How to Live," I wonder that I am alive. What sin and error Satan has brought upon poor fallen man. What love and long forbearance God has shown. But his Spirit will not strive with man much longer. Let us heed it then while time and opportunity are allotted us, lest he come unawares, and we hear the sad lamentation, the summer is past, the harvest is ended and my soul is not saved. Yours striving for the kingdom, Loganville, Sauk Co., Wis.
