Good Sabbath Meeting at Green Vale, Illinois
By Joseph Bates
Bro. J. H. Bates writes from Green Vale, Ill.: The few here are trying to live out the solemn truths of the third angel’s message. The Lord is truly good, and merciful to us to help us to see our faults, and give us a willing mind to try to overcome them, for which we thank his holy name. Last Sabbath was a good day for us here. Some of our neighbors met with us, and one made a start to keep the Sabbath and live a Christian life; and while the good Spirit of the Lord was in the meeting and confessions were freely made, I could hardly refrain from weeping to think that I had lived these truths so poorly. Present truth never looked brighter. It never seemed to me more like a living reality than at the present time.
