E. E. STURGES

By E. E. Sturges

From Sister Sturges.

DEAR BRN. AND SISTERS: Four years ago I felt the witness of the Spirit that I was a child of God. A short time after that, I had an opportunity of reading the Review, besides several books which led me to seriously consider the subject of the third angel's message. I praise God to-day I am a firm believer in present truth. And by the grace of God, will keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, that I may be raised to life immortal and stand among the redeemed on Mount Zion. Oh! the glory to be revealed at the second coming of Christ! Let us strive, dear brethren and sisters, to be among the remnant that will be prepared to meet him when he comes, and say, “This is our God; we have waited for him, he will save us.”
I have never heard the truth proclaimed only through the Review. Indeed I have never had an opportunity of conversing with but one Adventist; but with her I have taken sweet counsel. I feel very lonely and desire the prayers of the brethren and sisters of like precious faith. I look through the paper every week as soon as it reaches me to see if there is not some appointment in Connecticut. I am very anxious to be baptized. I hope an opportunity will present itself soon.
There are some here that have become deeply interested in my papers. There is here a wide field for usefulness, but the brethren are laboring so arduously in their different fields, I hardly dare ask any to come this way. As fast as the Scriptures are opened to my understanding I embrace them and love the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, and will strive with renewed zeal to bring some to a knowledge of the truth. Remember me as one of the lonely ones striving for the crown promised to the finally faithful.
