How I Became Interested in the Review.

I TRULY have great reason to thank my Heavenly Father for the privilege of reading the REVIEW for some time past. It was brought into my family by a sister who was tarrying with us for a season. With no particular interest did I at first peruse its pages; for I was a little prejudiced against it on account of its being a strict advocate for the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath. I, not unlike most professors of religion, tried to flatter myself that the first-day was as near right as any; consequently I would skip over those pieces which treated of the Sabbath. But ere I was aware of it, my affections were drawn out after the paper, by reading those pieces which treated of practical religion. I soon lost my prejudice and became interested in the Sabbath question; and, by the assisting grace of God, I have been enabled to come out and take a bold stand in keeping and advocating it. I am all alone. My family are not at all in sympathy with the new arrangement, and there not being any near of like faith, at times it appears like up-hill business; but the Lord has promised never to leave or forsake us, and with such help as this we shall be sure to win.
