SARAH ROWE

By Sarah Rowe

From Sister Rowe.

It is one year and a half since I commenced to keep the commandments of God. I have never regretted the step I then took. There were but few who were not convinced of this truth in this neighborhood at the time I started to keep holy the law of God; why did they not heed the warning voice, and step out upon the platform of truth? Oh! how I can praise his great and good name for giving me a heart to believe his word and do his commandments. They are not grievous, but a delight to my weary soul. Yea, my heart is full of love to God. I can praise and adore him. I want to be faithful to the Lord, and ever be willing to do every known duty which devolves upon those that profess the name of Jesus.

I find much in the Testimonies that I take home to my heart. They have shown me what I am and what I must be in order to become a fit subject for the kingdom of our Lord and Master. Are there any who think it hard to give up the things of this world? Let us put away such thoughts; let us cut loose from the world, for we cannot serve God and mammon at the same time; let us think what Jesus has done for us, and how he helps us to bear the crosses, and then we shall be more willing to give up the pleasures of this world.

I desire to be more earnest in this good cause, and at last be received into the kingdom of God.
