The Sabbath Is a Delight
By E. Geer
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: For the first time, I write a few lines for the REVIEW. 'Tis now a little over one year since I formed an acquaintance with those who keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and commenced searching my Bible for the truth on that subject. Shortly after I commenced my search for truth, I had the privilege of seeing, for the first time, our faithful and beloved brother Pierce, and of listening to two discourses from him on the Sabbath and the perpetuity of God's holy law. It was then and there that a flood of light seemed to break upon my understanding, while tears of joy mingled with sorrow flowed down my cheeks. It had been my chief object for over twenty-five years to do the will of my Father in Heaven, and when I saw that all this time I had been trampling his holy Sabbath under my feet, words could not express the burning grief that in my heart was stirred, and yet my heart seemed to flow out in gratitude to God for sparing my life so many years, and giving me the privilege, even in these last days; of seeing the light that encircles the fourth commandment. Praise God for every additional ray of light. The truth brings light and peace. Oh! how good the Master is; how precious the promises. He leads those who trust in him safely on. I have kept every Sabbath since I saw the light, and now, to me, the Sabbath is a delight, the holy of the Lord and honorable, and I am trying to divest myself of everything that would hinder my progress in the narrow way that leads to the holy city. Dear brethren and sisters of like precious faith, I feel determined by the grace of God to be an overcomer, that I may stand with you upon Mount Zion. Your sister in faith, in patience, in affliction, waiting for the kingdom.
E. GEER.
