Gratitude for the Review

SR. O. S. KNIGHT writes from Jamaica, Vt.: I write to express my gratitude to those who have so kindly sent me the REVIEW the past year. It has truly been a source of comfort and edification to me. As I have been much of the time deprived of the privilege of meeting with the people of God on the Sabbath, the sermons in the REVIEW have been my preacher, and the testimonies from the brethren and sisters, my conference meeting.
I feel very thankful that God has been so mindful of me as to teach me the way of life more perfectly. I feel to praise him for the light on the Sabbath question, and for the grace which he has given me thus far to try to keep it. I firmly believe the truths advocated by S. D. Adventists, and find my love for them growing stronger and stronger. I remember when I first commenced keeping the Sabbath, of hearing a dear brother tell how strongly attached he was to those with whom he was associated in Christian fellowship before he became an Adventist; but now said he “I love this people even better.” It seemed to me then that I could never love any people as I did my Methodist brethren and sisters. But I can now say that S. D. Adventists are even dearer to me; for I believe them to be a more self-denying, cross-bearing people; and I want to live so as to have a place with them, both now, and in the earth made new.
