SISTER L. M. BARTLETT writes: BRO. ALDRICH: I have been an Adventist ever since 1848. I opposed it at first, but soon became convinced that the alarm was of God, to rouse a sinful world from sleep to wake and prepare for judgment. Only lately have I kept God's Sabbath, though taught to keep Sunday from my youth up. We have a small Advent meeting here once in four weeks, but the brethren I think hold to some error. I sometimes combat their opinions of “no Devil, no Sabbath,” except as civil law, and silence them; but do not know as they are convinced of the truth; it is so hard to give up errors and own we are wrong. The Lord help his people to do so, and to reform in every thing, through Christ strengthening us. They receive the Review gladly, and it goes the rounds in this vicinity when I have read it, doing good I hope. I do not know of another Sabbath-keeper here, but I think I find a blessing in doing duty. I was almost to the grave when I commenced to keep the fourth commandment, and humbled myself, and sought the Lord for health and healing that I might labor longer for him. I trust he heard and answered me; and blessed be his name.

I hope I shall be faithful and go through to the promised inheritance.
