M. M. NELSON

By M. M. Nelson

From Sister Nelson.

BRO. WHITE: My heart is stirred within me to speak of God's goodness to me; and as I have not had the privilege of meeting with those of like precious faith in some time, I would say a few words through our excellent paper, to the dear saints scattered abroad. While I see so much formality and mixing with the world in its ungodly practices among professors of religion, I am led to thank God that he has a people who separate themselves from these things, and who are willing to be peculiar; and as I see such unmistakable evidences that the Lord is working for his people, and preparing them for his heavenly garner, I rejoice that he, in his infinite goodness, has ever shown me his truth, and given me strength to obey it, though in much weakness and many short comings. He has borne with me, blessed be his name!
The Lord is doing great things for me in improving my health while trying to obey his laws. I feel that I have been a great sinner in the past, and brought sickness and disease upon myself, by wrong methods of living. I thank the Lord for the privilege I am enjoying here at "Our Home" in learning how to live. I desire to be sanctified through the whole truth, and preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord. I have had many precious seasons of communion with the Saviour here, and have found him precious in sickness and trouble. Oh how infinitely good he is to those that trust in him. I would call upon all that is within me to bless and praise his holy name. I desire to live more to his glory, and hope by his grace to be able to overcome and with all the dear children of God, inherit the promises.
