A Lonely Sabbath Keeper’s Appeal
By P. Lightner
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I am one of the lonely ones; and as I am so often comforted while reading the communications from others, I thought I would write a few words for the encouragement of some lonely brother or sister. I am determined to put forth a stronger effort to overcome than ever before. I am the only Sabbath-keeper that I know of in this county. But I do love to keep the commandments; and I can say of a truth that the Sabbath is a delight to me. I have strong opposition, and many trials, but thank God, they have not moved me as yet. Pray for me, brethren, that I may, through the mercies of my heavenly Father, stand with you on Mount Zion; and that I may enter in through the gates into the city. I do want to be a Christian in deed and in truth. I want to wash my robe and make it white in the blood of the Lamb. I want to send for tracts as soon as I can; I think they would do good here. I have circulated my papers to some extent, and the people seem to like to read them. They know nothing of present truth here. If any of the friends should come this way, I hope they will call on us. P. LIGHTNER.
