My Experience

By Jno. H. Niehaus

ABOUT eight years ago Elder Davis visited Evansville, Ind., taking subscriptions for The Signs of the Times. We subscribed for the paper, and became interested in its teachings. Later, when the elder asked permission to hold Bible readings at our home, we consented. The

Bible truths were made very clear to us, and it was not long before my wife began to observe the seventh-day Sabbath.

I was convicted, but was slow in obeying, as it meant to me the loss of my position in one of the city banks. I called on several ministers of different denominations, and asked their opinion of several texts of scripture found in the book of Revelation. One of them said to me, “Brother, you are getting into deep water when you study the book of Revelation.” Afterward my wife remarked to me that the Lord would take my position away from me if I did not live up to the light he gave me. This prediction proved true in a few weeks, as the bank decided to suspend business. I immediately began the observance of God’s holy day, and he has blessed me wonderfully. I have learned to love him, and delight in obeying his statutes.
