A Call to Watchfulness
By J. E. Farrar
BRO. WHITE: It has been about six years since I commenced to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and to try to live out the truths of the third angel's message. I can truly say the truth looks more beautiful and harmonious to me to-day than in times past. "The faith of the just will shine more and more unto the perfect day." I want the truth to have a sanctifying influence on my life, I am determined, God being my helper, to overcome all my sins and evil besetments, and to be found without guile in my mouth, that I may be prepared for the coming of Him whose right it is to reign,—even Jesus the Son of the Most High God. None but those who have clean hands and pure hearts, will rejoice at his coming; then he that is "righteous will be righteous still, and he that is filthy shall be filthy still." I want to have all my sins confessed and forsaken, that they may be blotted out while Jesus stands before the mercy seat. We are living in perilous times; our adversary, the Devil, goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. It is needful for us to ever be on the watch-tower, lest we be taken in his snares. Brethren, pray for me. J. E. Farrar. Marquette, Wis.
