Another Victory for Truth.
By George A. Guerrier
We have just received the following letter from Aroostook Co., Maine:— Far away from the place where you publish that true light of the gospel, in which may God ever help you, I have caught the spirit emanating from your books and papers, and seat myself to pen a few lines in which I wish to express the satisfaction I feel in their weekly perusal. But a short time since I was without a belief in religion, consequently an enemy to God. I doubted religion as then current, because to me it lacked that consistency which belongs to the teachings of the divine Spirit, who worketh for the salvation of man. Eld. J. B. Goodrich had been in my neighborhood preaching and distributing tracts and papers in my absence. When I came home, he had gone, but he left behind the result of his labors; and upon reading the tracts and papers, I became interested, and can now truly say that at last I have found that connection and harmony consistent with Bible teaching. The cause is greatly persecuted, some even so opposed to its teachings as to deny access to their homes to brothers and sisters whom they had once cherished. I never heard a minister of the doctrine, yet so careful has been my study that I am fully prepared to accept it as the word of God. Oh! how we need a teacher in this locality. “Come and help us,” is the cry from the hearts of all who, hearing, have believed. The writings of sister White have done me a deal of good and strengthened me in the faith. Could the country be flooded with the REVIEW and pamphlets descriptive of the “new doctrine” (as they call it) and its beauties and consonance with Bible teaching, it appears to me that the great barriers of prejudice might be worn down and easy entrance given to the right. Some are discouraged on account of the persecution attendant upon the keeping of the Sabbath, and have discontinued it; others, however, are persevering, and praying that yet more may come to the truth.
