Rejoicing in Advent Truth
By H. E. Beebe
SR. H. E. BEEBE writes from Clinton Co., Mich.: It has only been a little over a year and a half since I first heard the Advent doctrine preached. I knew there was such a class of people, but of their faith, I knew nothing. When one of the messengers came here, and commenced a course of lectures, I was too indifferent even to go and hear. My husband went several evenings, and would tell what he heard. Finally, my curiosity becoming awakened, I went; became interested, and continued going till I was convinced that it was the truth, and am to-day rejoicing in the glorious light which the great Giver of every good and perfect gift has caused to shine upon my once darkened pathway, and am humbly trying to walk in it. I encounter many trials and temptations by the way, but they are as nothing to what my Saviour endured, and they will “work out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,” if they are borne patiently and meekly. Let us arouse, put on the whole armor, and bear these things as becomes the followers of the meek and lovely Jesus. But a few more trials and temptations, and, if faithful, we shall outride the storm, and anchor safe in the harbor of eternal rest.
