WHAT THEY SAY.

SISTER ELLA ZELUFF writes as follows:—
“After six days of labor and care, when the sun is slowly setting in the west, and the Sabbath with its holy hours is returning, I kneel and thank God for his many blessings, his long-suffering, and his tender watchcare over me; and I fancy I see the Sabbath-keepers all over the land kneeling, and offering thanks and praise to the ‘Lord of the Sabbath.’ It seems like a solemn meeting to me, and in the stillness, I can almost hear the warning voice of the third angel ringing louder and clearer. Its solemn tones sink deeper and deeper into my heart, and I feel to cry, O my Father, what can I do to aid in the advancement of thy cause? We can all do something, if we are living near to God, trusting in him to lead us. May he help us to be entirely separate from the world, and to put on the whole armor, that our lights may shine steadily on.”
Sister Josephine L. Franklin writes from Litchfield Co., Conn.:—
“I am glad to be able to tell you how the truth is prospering here. One more has embraced the Sabbath by reading ‘Spiritual Gifts,’ Vols. 1 and 2. This sister receives the whole of the message and is trying to live the health reform. Oh, how the truth has changed her! She is humble and penitent, and strives to live godly in Christ Jesus.”
“We are only three in number, but we have regular prayer-meetings every Wednesday evening and Sabbath evening, and on the Sabbath we have Sabbath-school and read the Bible, the REVIEW, and the testimonies. We never fail to meet, no matter what the weather may be. We also scatter books, papers, and tracts.”
“Sabbath evening, Feb. 25, 1876, we met at the house of sister C. for prayer-meeting. As we entered the door a feeling of deep solemnity fell gently upon our hearts. We took up the REVIEW and read the article ‘The Hope of the Righteous,’ and as we read we could not refrain from weeping at the thought that we also entertained that glorious hope. The peaceful sweet influence of the Holy Spirit rested upon us as we bowed in prayer and confessed our sins, and we felt that the form of the fourth was in our midst. Oh, how awfully grand was that place! We desire to consecrate ourselves anew to God and his cause. Pray for us, that we may overcome.”
