A Growing Sabbath-Keeping Community
By Sister S. A. Jessup
SISTER S. A. JESSUP writes from Grant Co., Wis.: I feel truly thankful for what the Lord has done for me and my family. I have been keeping the Sabbath for fifteen years almost alone. My family took no interest in the truth until last fall when Bro. Sanborn came here and gave a course of lectures. My two eldest daughters then embraced the truth, and were baptized. My husband has since embraced it. There are now about one hundred Sabbath-keepers in this vicinity, where a few months ago, I was the only one. I feel to rejoice greatly for what the Lord has done for this people. The brethren are building a large meeting-house here. We expect to hold meetings in it this summer. Let us not sleep, but let us watch and be sober. Let us gird on the whole armor, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. When we see the great sin and wickedness there is all around us, how careful ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming day of God wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. We have prayer-meetings here once a week, and we feel that the Lord truly meets with us. Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due time, we shall reap if we faint not.
