Uiai \ve stand ap we cannot be torn —Selected by W. MBbose. doctrine brother.—S. “Mountain Home,” / Page County, Va., > Feb. 14, 1895. ) Editors Pilgrim’s Banner. Dear Brethren ■ —Your paper came several nights ago, and wo gladly welcomed the new visitor, out upon reading its well written pages, richly laden with heavenly truths, we felt as though we had met old friends. I will be candid in saying my first impression were. “I would love to subscribe for it but cannot, for I am taking five and the years soon roll around and I am always in trouble till I pay for my papers. The more I think upon discarding it, the less I feel like I can do so, and happy in the promise, “The Lord will pro vide.” He has never left me com fortless, “though oft from His presence in sadness I roam.” He comes to me, oft in the silent night, and bids me, “Be still and know that I am God.” ‘Yet when 1 turn my eyes within, All is vain dark and wild; Filled with unbelief and sin, Can I deem myself a-child?” and with the sweet Psalmist I exclaim, “What is man that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?” I feel my sinful weakness Kbd believe with John “a man can receive nothing except it be given him from Heaven. Learning from your teaching, and sweet words of exhortation and comfort that you have been with Jesus, and have learned of Him, I love you for his sake, and pray that yon may be established in every good word and work, and that there bo “no schisms” in your paper. Would that our many ably edited papers had a -general circulation, tor surely there is no subject less un derstood than the plan of salva tion by grace, and grace alone. “The Old BantistTest” is a grand book, and I am pleased to see you purpose giving extracts from time to time from it. My precious papa, Eld. Wm. C. Lauck who fell asleep in Jesus 20 years, ago Feb,6th,loved both brother Watson, and his book, and gave it to me, his baby. I notice that he has turned down the leaves at’3C,32 And 190. He was not unmindful cf his duty to exhort to practical God liness. 1 never tire reading such exhortation (unfortunately I can not hear them.) I verily belieye, we as a church, and the only true church of Christ bold the doctrine of the Bible, but in many in stances are deficient in caring for, or in other words, supporting our dear ministers, and looking after the necesities of our poor. Christ says, “Let your lights© shine be fore men, that they may see your good works, * a’nd glorify your Father .Heaven.” St. Mat. 5; not up for your selves treasures upon earth, where moth arid rust doth corrupt, and where/thieves break through and steal-; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and iTwh gh b nor steal. -For where your 'treasure is; there will your heart be also.” St. Mat. vi; 19, 20 and T>.,± --.1- H L T ‘ ,3 21. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be add ed unto you.” St. Mat. vi; 23. Dear brethren, if each one of us who are still monuments of our loving Savior’s forbearance and tender mercies would carry these plain, all sufficient admonitions in our hearts, and live by them every day, we would be a happier, more devoted people. Don’t you think so? A word to dear brother Ingram, whose article touched my heart in deep sympathy. Out of ten precious children, we have had five called to their Heavenly home, and as the breath left each darling little body it caused me to feel my sinfulness so keenly, the stroke almost crushed me, and were it not for the everlasting arms underneath you and I and all who know the exceeding sin fullness of self, and the tenderest fountains of our natures choked with the bitter tears of loss, we would never rise above it. But let us be submissive; the cause will be known bye and bve, our good and God’s glory made mani fest. Let us praise Him for having known this holy affliction, and for having these treasures in Heaven. Our baby is there too. May all of us meet around the throne of God, and join in ascrib ing all the praise of our redemp tion to “Jesus who hath done all things well.” Your unworthy sister, Lucy G. Burmback. P. S. —Enclosed please find SI.OO for your excellent paper. I am well pleased with it. G. & Elder A. V. Simms. Beloved Brother In Christ. I will make another attempt to write something of my little hope, though it is with much fear and trembling that I make the at tempt 1 have had a desire to write ever since I united with the church, as I could say but very little then. I am the oldest daughter of M*. and Mrs James W. Parrish. My father is the oldest son of Elder Ansel Parrish, now deceased. When I was about eleven years old one day I was sitting out on the iront porch, rocking my little, brother, when something seemed to tell mo that I was going to die, and that I was not prepared to meet my little brother in heaven who had died when I was small. The family was all absent from home, and so terrible was my con victions for sin that I did not feel like 1 could live to sec re turn. As I sat rocking my little brother the big (ears rolled down my cheeks. I could not feel like the Lord would suffer such a sin ner as 1 was to live. A few days later 1 was prostrated with rhv-u --matism, and remained in bed for twelve long months. Daring all this long time I could not dt up 1 but very little, and could not ! walk at all. I craved to die and 1 be free from pain; but no, I was . not lit to die. My sufferings, both physical and mental can better be . imagined than described. I at last recovered from my sickness, and my health was good for awhile. I tried hard to forget all " my troubles and throw it all away ’ and enjoy the world as I had • formerly done. I went to a few . parties, and took part in them, and would sometimes enjoy them , very well; but at other times I there'would come such an awful dteau over me that 1 would 1 promise rayself that I woulunever 3 attend another. Again I would ■ t hink. Why not go on and enjoy I the world whih I i will l - time [• this matter when I an/Tblder. t These thoughts would /ometime j do fo r awhile, but sqoir I would find mvself mourning and griev- 1 ing over a misspent life. ’ In October 1885 I was again prostruf 1 and laid very low with a severe fever. I lay and suffered i for three months. The physician and family and all my friends despaired of my life, but while in this condition an impression came over me, almost as iff some one had spoken the words; “They need not weep, you will not die this time. “I sank into an unconcious state and retrained so for more than a week. After my recovery I again tried to conceal my troubles from every-one,but never did visit another party after this. I seemed to be cut loose from the enjoyment of such things. The sins of the past arose like mountains before me. My health began to fail again in 1886 and I was terribly afflicted with rheumatism. My ' sufferings were almost more than I could bear. Ir is hard to tell was worse, my mental or physic Jksulf erings. Many times I rememtier lying upon my bed at night while all the family was sweetly resting and my pillow would be wet with tears, and in a suppressed tone of voice I would cry unto the Lord for mercy. But even my prayers were not right some-way, for I felt liko i 1 could not be forgiven. The reading of the bible only gave me hope fdr f others, none for myself. I read a great deal for three years, when I became so badly afflicted with rheumatism I could not raise tl|e bible from my pillow, and I was, a poor helpless sinner in deed helpless both temporally ai® spiritually. In January 1890 *[ grew so much worse tbgfet tlfe physician told my bereaved father that he had exausted his skill, and that 1 could not live, and in this I fully concurcd witfi him. I told some of the family tjiat ,1 wanted to see Elder Charleyl Stal lings before I died, and the/ sent for him. When lie came I was so low that I could not raise 1113 hand or talk above a whisper. But I tried to talk with him a little. I was so sure I was go ing to die, that I kissed my brothers and sisters good-bye; and as I raised my eyes to take as I thought the last fond look at my dear father and mother who was bending over my feeble form to catch my dying words, it seemed that I saw these words written be fore me, “be of good cheer.” From that time my uneasiness was gone, but where, or how I could not tell. I felt that God had par doned my sins and Jesus was my friend. Next morning everything appeared beautiful to me, and I think it was the sweetest day of my life. I could now say with David “it was good for me that I was afflicted, for before I was afflicted I went astray.” I now prayed to get well enough to be able to go to meeting, and ask fer a home among tho dear Old Baptists, whom 1 now loved above every earthly tie. As the meeting days would come I would lie on my bed and cry as I could hear tho church members passing our home. But cuuld they re ceive me? Oh! I feared not, I spent a great deal of my time doubting the realities of what I had experienced. I saw greatly to my sorrow that I was still a sinner and could not claim membership with the church upon merits of my own. I could not wait until 1 got well before I went to meeting my father would take me in his arms like a little child, and put me in the buggy and carry me when the weather was good. How happy did the brethren and sisters , seem when they would meet on their re gular meeting days: I felt like if I offered and was rejected I could not live and bear it, ana- yet I could not con tent myself to stay away from A4 length, on the 16th of HdsZry it, and to my surprise they received me, and I was baptized two months later by the pastor Elder William Tomlinson. My health was still very poor but I i did not now grieve about, as in i my baptism I found great relief [ for my burdened soul- But I did i not rest long here, for I soon be ; gan to feel that I had deceived the i be'st people on earth. The day I joined them I could not say but very little, and this has troubled me. I now feel grateful to God that he has given me such friends. I shall never forget the kindness of that d<'ar sister, Fannie Shu man, who assisted me in getting to the moderator’s seat th'e day I joined. She was so kind and tender, and was such a great comfort to me that day, I can never forget her. I am now settled for this life if the dear children of God can only bear with me, and allow me to sit at their feet. Dear Brother Simms do as you think best with this, and kindly remember me at a throne of grace. Your afflicted Sister. Alice Pai-kish. ! I Lois, Ga. i ?
