Interesting Testimonies
By JAS. COCHRAN
An incident occurred in a Sabbath service which I attended during the week of prayer that to me was very interesting. After the reading prepared for the occasion, opportunity was given for a social service. A strange lady arose in the congregation, and said she was rejoicing in the Lord that she had found a people that were keeping God's commandments. It was her first meeting with Sabbath observers. She told how she had received a tract on the Sabbath question, and how it led her to investigate the subject more thoroughly, and finally to accept this wonderful truth. She related the circumstances of her coming into the place where our church was located, and her eagerness to attend the Sabbath meeting. Immediately after she sat down, another strange lady arose and related almost the same story as to her experience. She had received a tract from one of our brethren living at a distance, which prompted her to further investigation and a final decision to accept the message as a whole. She, too, was rejoicing in the Lord that she had been led to see such a glorious and saving truth. It was very cheering to look into the faces of these two sisters, and to hear the good testimony they bore. It was somewhat out of the ordinary that these two persons with an experience so nearly alike should find their way into this particular Sabbath service. We shall, however, expect to see many such incidents in the closing of this message. The literature we are sending forth will bear fruit to God's glory. Just now is the time for every one to be engaged in active service for the Master. On every hand are manifest evidences of God's Spirit striving with the people. Thousands of souls are longing for the truth contained in our books, tracts, and papers. The need of the hour is an awakened church to carry the truth to the people. JAS. COCHRAN.
