A New Sabbath-Keeper’s Testimony
By Sister E. J. Connet
SISTER E. J. CONNET writes from Richland Co. Ill.: I have recently commenced to keep the Sabbath, and meet with many reproaches and great opposition; but I have been convinced of its truth for some time, and feel guilty that I have not sooner obeyed. My prayer is that the Lord will forgive, and help me to keep all his commandments and the faith of Jesus. Myself and one other sister are the only Sabbath-keepers here. We are looked upon as very foolish, and often called crazy. How I wish some one would come and preach the truth, I want to hear a sermon from the living preacher. I love my books and Review; they are as light shining on my dark path in this world of trouble and disappointment, but I long to see some of those dear people of whom I have read. When I read of their sweet meetings, I feel like taking the wings of the morning that I may fly away and be with them. There are many things that I do not understand as I wish to. It is my daily prayer that I may understand the truth more and more, and be enabled to practice it acceptably. I ask to be remembered as one of the lonely ones, seeking for an inheritance in the earth made new.
