BRO. SMITH: I have often thought I would communicate a few lines testifying to what God has done for poor unworthy me. I have been trying to keep the commandments some ten years, since I first heard the third angel's message proclaimed by Brn. Loughborough, Ingraham and others. I was brought up a Methodist from childhood, and had belonged to the Episcopal church some twelve years, and about the same length of time with the Wesleyans. At the age of sixty-one years I was satisfied I was following the traditions of men, and gladly embraced the present truth, and feel to rejoice that after so long a time I was brought to listen to and embrace the Advent faith. I am one of the lonely ones, and have passed through many severe trials and afflictions, having none of my family to go with me excepting my wife, who keeps the Sabbath. I want to be an overcomer and have a place in the kingdom, to go no more out forever. I am poor as to this world's goods, but hope to have an inheritance in the new earth. I am very thankful for the Review; it comes a welcome visitor. I feel I could not do without it.
