Signs of Christ’s Coming in Wisconsin
By Sister J. A. Wood
SISTER J. A. Wood writes from Wisconsin: Signs portend that Jesus is soon coming. The world is in commotion, men's hearts failing them for fear, looking for those things that are coming on the earth. How feeble is the arm of man to stay the judgments of God! Witness the calamities that have been visited for a few weeks past on our guilty land. How many will acknowledge these things to be judgments from God and prepare to escape the great conflagration when none shall escape, only those who are redeemed from among men. There are a few here who are trying to keep the holy Sabbath. We maintain a Sabbath prayer meeting. When Eld. Sanborn came here, two years ago, I was bitterly opposed to the truth. I listened with attention and soon saw that his arguments were founded on the Scriptures. My first-day Advent friends brought in all their arguments to bear against the truth; but thanks be to the Lord that he gave me sustaining grace to overcome, although not without a struggle. And I have been receiving new light ever since. How foolish and contradictory the arguments are that are brought to bear against the truth.
