A Testimony of Sabbath Faith
By M. S. Kittredge
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: For the first time I have this privilege of writing to you. It has made my heart glad from time to time to read your cheering testimonies, and I am not ashamed to add, that I love the precious truths which they contain. A little more than a year and a half ago I commenced to keep the Sabbath of the Lord; and I can assure you that I have not been sorry for so doing yet. Why should I? God has blessed me from that time; and I trust he will if I am faithful to the end. I have no relatives who love this cause; but I praise God that he has promised to be a Father to the fatherless, and will uphold all them that trust in him; and I am glad that he has a people here in this place that are making ready for what shall come to pass in these last days. I love God; and I love his people. They seem dearer to me than any who love him not, whatever may be the ties of nature, that connect us. My heart's desire to God is that I may live daily to his approval, and have more of the Spirit of the meek and lowly Jesus, that when our earthly pilgrimage shall close, I may share with God's people on this earth made new. How blest will be the day, indeed,
When Christ himself shall come,
How blest, from earthly evils freed,
To find in Heaven a home. M. S. KITTREDGE.
