From Bro. Lewis on Keeping the Sabbath
By B. S. Lewis
Having been favored the year past with the gratuitous reading of the REVIEW AND HERALD, by a much esteemed brother, a firm believer and active laborer, with his earnest, active companion, for the extension of present truth, I have become so attached to it that I anticipate living deprived of it as a calamity. My wife says we can't well do without it; better cut short something else, and secure that. I therefore inclose one dollar for the REVIEW six months, trusting in the Lord that if we live, he will provide means for me to prolong the subscription. The brother and wife who furnished the REVIEW to us commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord a year and a half since, under circumstances that called forth the utmost confidence in the truth they were embracing, and an unflinching determination to obey it. At that time I commenced reading the Bible and other books to see if these things were so. This brother, having the means, furnished me books from your Office which I examined with their references. The result was, my wife and I commenced to keep the Sabbath of the Lord on the first of July, about a year since. Our number has increased to eight or nine; we have, we trust, profitable meetings every seventh day. We feel to bless the Lord for the light he has shown us, and by his aid we intend to shun the mark of the beast, and keep the faith of Jesus. Yours, B. S. Lewis. Sullivan Co., N. H.
