Conversion to the Third Angel’s Message
Sister L. H. Huntley writes from Richmond, Iowa: “It has been a little over one year since I first heard and embraced the third angel’s message. Brn. Cornell and Hull came to Richmond with the tent one year ago last June, and remained there over three Sabbaths. On July 3, six, with the writer of these lines, There were buried with Christ in baptism, and I humbly trust rose to walk in newness of life. Several belonging to the Baptist church came out at the same time; since then others have been added to the number. For some seven years previous to that time I had been a member of the M. E. church, yet God in his mercy saw fit to show me wherein I erred, and brought me from darkness into the marvelous light of his dear children, for which I feel to praise his holy name. It would have been quite a trial to me to withdraw myself from those that I had had many sweet seasons within class-rooms and other places of worship, had it not been that in the act I felt that I was doing my heavenly Father’s will. My greatest desire is to keep all the commandments, and have the faith of Jesus. I want to be a true follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. I want to be clothed with the robe of righteousness; and may my ornaments be those of a meek and quiet spirit. I do want to have a part in the first resurrection. I believe that Jesus is soon coming. Not long will the wheels of his chariot delay, and O may I be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless.” “To my dear brethren and sisters scattered abroad I must say, Let us all be more active and more zealous in this good and glorious cause. Christ has done much for us, for which we ought to feel, and I trust do feel, glad. Let us devote more of our time to his service. May we not shun duty, but take up our cross and follow him through evil as well as good report. I feel my weakness, but by the grace of God I am determined to go through to mount Zion, the city of the living God. Dear brethren and sisters, let us remember each other at the throne of grace, that we may keep all God’s commandments, and enter in through the gates into the city. Yours in hope of eternal life.”
