Light Found.

By John S. Montgomery

It is with pleasure that I relate a little of my past experience, and what I now enjoy. I have, for the last fifteen years, been a member of the Methodist church, trying with them to serve my divine Lord, but making many crooked paths. I ever tried to be a Christian; but there seemed to be something between me and God, between what I was and what I desired to be, a devoted Christian. What it was I now think I can tell. About six weeks ago I was conversing with a neighbor of mine on scripture subjects, and in our conversation she explained some passages of Scripture that I had studied upon, but could not understand; and now I am happy to say that in place of the first day of the week, I have embraced the Lord's holy Sabbath. And although opposition may arise, and foes may oppress, I am determined to stand up for the truth, and ever be found in the path of duty. We are comparatively few here, there being only five of us, who are Sabbath-keepers; but God is with us, and he will help. We are doing all we can to spread the truths of the gospel, hoping in the prayers of our friends elsewhere.
