Seeking the Right Way Again.
By Caroline R. Rice
A SISTER writes from Lee Summit, Mo.: I am thankful that the REVIEW has been allowed to visit my dear parents' house so long. Father spent part of last season with us, perused all the books we had treating on present truth, became convinced, and is now keeping the Sabbath. Since his return home he writes:— “The more I have examined the subject, the more I am convinced that the law has not been annulled or changed by any scriptural authority. Our Saviour fulfilled the law to be sure, and made it honorable. How did he do it? By keeping it. Hence he said if he had not come and done those works which no man had ever done, they had not had sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin. . . . Some fifteen years ago, I heard Stephenson, in Wisconsin, lecture on the third angel's message. The seventh day then looked to me to be the Sabbath, and I commenced keeping it, thinking that the safer way, although our good old Christian minister tried to explain to me that he that keepeth the day keepeth it unto the Lord, &c., that is, that it made no difference; but let every one be persuaded in his own mind. A few months after, we moved into a place where people were strict Sunday-keepers, and became one among them; though with my mind troubled with doubts, I eagerly devoured every book treating on the subject of the soon coming of Christ. The Prophetic Times and World's Crisis were all I could get hold of, however. I searched the Scriptures, reading their quotations, but I found myself groping in darkness until moving to this place five years ago, God sent me instruction. I read the “History of the Sabbath” and REVIEW, lent me by a kind neighbor, commenced again to keep God's whole law, and, with the help of God intend to remain faithful to the end.” My two dear boys are keeping the Sabbath with me, and some two or three others of my dear friends are also keeping the Sabbath. I feel so thankful to God, and it is so cheering to hear of accessions to the cause of truth, that I write this. May you be blessed abundantly.
