Sister Vedder's Testimony of Gratitude and Renewed Faith
By S. H. Vedder
— SISTER S. H. VEDDER writes from Grant Co., Wis.: Sometimes while reading in the Conference department of the REVIEW, I drink so into the spirit of it, that tears flow like rain, and I feel to exclaim from the heart, O Lord, I thank thee for this one great blessing. It comes to me like water to the thirsty traveler in a destitute land, or as an oasis in the desert. It strengthens me much, and gives me much light. I thank my blessed Saviour that I have lived to see this day; and while the third angel’s message is sounding through the land, and so much light seems to be shining out so clear, I feel to thank the Lord that I was not cut down while transgressing his holy law. I have felt so much of his presence within the last year, that I have almost thought that I never knew what conversion was till now. If I did, I can say that I have been converted anew, and have found a more excellent way. Thank his blessed name! I feel to give him all the glory. Brethren and sisters, while you have my feeble prayers, please remember me. I am in a neighborhood where there is but one Adventist besides myself, and people generally are too prejudiced to read our books or papers. We need your prayers that we may so live out the truth that our example may preach to others.
