WHAT THEY SAY.

A SISTER writes from Ontario as follows:—

“When I first embraced the truth it was without opposition; but through the influence of first-day Adventists, persecution soon began to rage, so that separation from home and family was threatened. My husband said he never would tolerate two Sabbaths in his house, so I was led to ask for a home with one of the neighbors. One day when husband asked what I would do if I should return from meeting and find myself locked out, I replied, ‘What could I do but pray for you?’ and, lo, I was no longer opposed in regard to the Sabbath.

“The next point was baptism; and though he was a believer in this ordinance, and even challenged an unbaptized person’s right to pray, he declared he never would permit me to be baptized and join the Seventh-day Adventists. I committed my case to the Lord in prayer, asking him to open the way for me to follow him in his ordinances. My husband went to the camp-meeting at — to prevent my baptism, but he was so completely broken down and humbled before the Lord that he not only consented to my baptism, but assisted in baptizing a poor, lame brother who was taken into the water on a sheet. Thus the Lord has ever stood by me to fight my battles, and open up a way before me. And now while I have the same opposition to contend with, my trust is in Him who has said, ‘All things work together for good to them that love the Lord.’”

Sister Calvin Green, of Hamilton Co., N. Y., writes:—

“I have taken the REVIEW for the last year, and I think it the best paper I ever saw. It has been the means of making a great many passages of Scripture very plain to me that were very dark before. I should not know how to do without it; for it contains food for the hungry soul.”

C. M. Gregory, Allegan Co., Mich., says:—

“The Lord is very good to me, and I want to express my gratitude through the columns of our much-loved paper. How I prize it, as it comes to us weekly, laden with its rich store of truth. I look eagerly for some familiar name among those that write for it, and my heart is cheered and encouraged by reading the testimony of some lonely one. I must say to such, Cheer up; the long night is almost past. Jesus is soon coming to take his weary tried ones home.”
