“Waiting for Strength.”

By R. F. COTTRELL

IN reading the communications in a recent Review, I was struck with these words: “Five have come out and embraced the Sabbath of the Lord. A number more say they are convinced that they ought to keep it but are waiting for more strength.” What a thought! Continue in disobedience, to gain strength! Is not this the way to lose strength? They that wait on the Lord renew their strength. When convinced of duty, to delay is to lose strength, and make obedience more difficult. Better follow the example of David. “I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.” Let all who wish to gain strength do likewise. R. F. COTTRELL.
