Testimonies from Believers
SR. RUSHIA EVANS writes from Ogle Co., Ill.: When I first tried to serve the Lord I was afraid to be heard praying, and I went away alone. At a prayer-meeting I was called upon, but after saying a few words I could think of nothing more to say, so I made several attempts, still on my knees, waiting on the Lord. Presently the Lord came in and filled my soul with light and glory, and I went home rejoicing in God my Saviour. In a short time I was impressed to pray in my family, but I tried to think it was not my duty because I was not the head of the family. But I had no peace of mind till I was willing to take up my cross, and then my peace was like a river. I am still striving to serve the Lord, and am sorry I have not been more faithful. I am alone in the cause, but pray that my family may yet go with me, and we stand together on Mount Zion. BRO. AND SR. PRIEST write from Mass.: We feel to say that truly God is good to us, and to thank and praise him for his word, which is, truly, a lamp to our feet and a light to our path amid the perils of these last days. For truly signs foretell that the coming of the Just One draws near. Our prayer is that we and all God's people may be ready when he comes, to hail him with joy, and enter into his rest. R. MORAN writes from Iroquois Co., Ill.: If I have any heart or sympathy, it is toward the Seventh-day Adventists. I really believe they are nearer the truth than any other people of whom I have any knowledge.
