Warnings to Watchful Sabbath Keepers
Bro. A. H. Barnes writes from Vermont: Are we not in great danger of feeling secure because we keep the Sabbath and have a name and place with the people of God? A mere profession will not save us. We have a work to do that no one can do for us. Oh! that we could feel this, and realize how short a time we have in which to work. We have line upon line, precept upon precept; yet how little we heed the warnings. Will nothing rouse us? Shall we go on in this manner till the wailing cry is forced from our lips, The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. Jer. 8:20. Alas! with many it will be even so. They will cleave to their idols and the love of the world till the Lord can bear with them no longer. Dear reader, will it be you, and will it be me? Let us awake and work out our salvation with fear and trembling. May past examples and warnings cause us to take heed lest we fall.
