Overcoming in Perilous Times

By Priscilla Barrows

From Sister Barrows.

Bro. Smith: Permit me to say to my dear brethren and sisters that I am trying to overcome, and that the message to the Laodiceans is still having an influence upon my heart. I want to make the consecration that is required, that I may be right. I realize that we are living in the perilous times of the last days, and we need to have on the whole armor, that we may be able to withstand the wiles of the enemy. I am truly thankful for the many good exhortations and faithful warnings from my brethren and sisters. Glory be to God for the privilege of communicating our thoughts, our trials and our determinations to one another through the Review. We have preaching enough in the Review to make us wise unto salvation if we will but heed it. How humble and watchful and prayerful we ought to live every day, lest we get out of the way. We are deprived of the privilege here of meeting with those of like precious faith on the Sabbath. Dear brethren and sisters when you are assembled together, put up one petition for the lonely ones.

Your sister in the love of the truth. PRISCILLA BARROWS. Bridge Water, Vt., Oct. 22d, 1857.

AMANDA M. CURTIS

By Amanda M. Curtis

From Sister Curtis.

Dear Brethren and Sisters: I feel it a duty to add my testimony to the truth. I became a believer in the Advent doctrine in 1843. I have passed through many trials and temptations. Sometimes the Lord has blessed me much, and at other times I have been almost in despair; but out of all these trials the Lord has delivered me, praise his holy name. I embraced the Sabbath about six years ago, and have been struggling on alone ever since, having no one with me but my little children. How I wish some messenger of God would come and proclaim the last message of mercy to the inhabitants of this city. Why do they not come?

Dear children of God, pray for me and my family, that we may be accounted worthy to escape all those things that are coming upon the earth, and meet all God's saints in the kingdom.

Yours striving for eternal life.

AMANDA M. CURTIS

Comfort for the Lonely Pilgrim

Sister Mary Fairbanks writes from Suspension Bridge, C. W., Oct. 19th, 1857. "Next to seeing friends is to hear from them, and as I hear from those I love, through the Review, I would acknowledge my gratitude to God for the privilege. It is a comfort to the lonely pilgrim in this dark world, especially to me who have no one of like precious faith to speak to on this all important subject; but I trust in God, whose grace has sustained up to three score and ten, that he will carry me through to the kingdom."

Looking for the Lord’s Appearing

Unto them that look for him, says Paul, shall the Saviour appear the second time without sin unto salvation Heb. ix, 28. Paul here makes the assertion that unto a certain class the Lord will appear; but does he mean to say that he will not appear unto any others? By no means: he will appear to all.

But here is the point: it is to only one class that he appears unto salvation; all others will be destroyed with a miserable destruction from the presence of the Lord, and the glory of his power.

Reader are you looking for your Lord? or are you among those who do not love to think of his appearing and kingdom?

Whether you are looking for him or not, he will surely appear; but it is only to those who look for him that he brings salvation; and where would you rather be in that day? with those who are exclaiming with glad hearts, Lo this is our God, we have waited for him—looked for him—and he will save us? or with those who will cry to the rocks and the mountains to fall on them and hide them from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne?

There will be but these two classes then; there are in one sense but two classes now; those who love and those who do not love his appearing.

Let me be among those who love and look for their Lord here; let me be among those to whom he will appear unto salvation! Salvation! O the precious boon, the priceless privilege!
