SAMUEL J. HERSUM

By Samuel J. Hersum

From Bro. Hersum.

BRO. SMITH: For the first time I take my pen to bear my testimony in favor of present truth through the Review. I have often read the testimonies of others which are a source of comfort to me in my loneliness. It has been about a year and a half since I commenced to keep all the commandments of God, and although I have had some discouraging feelings, yet I am determined never to give up striving for the crown of life.
When I call to mind the sufferings of our Saviour, the privations which he endured for our sake, why should I despond? Let us look up and rejoice that we are worthy to bear the trials of this life for his sake. Although I have been scoffed at for advocating that the seventh-day is the Sabbath, yet I feel that it is better to obey the commandments of the Lord than to follow the tradition of men. I believe we are receiving the last warning of mercy that will ever be given to the world, and at the close of this message probation will end. O let us be faithful a little longer and the victory will be ours.
