"A FULL SALVATION," "A WHOLE BIBLE."
By Sarah B. Casterline
I HAVE been a Methodist for over sixty-two years. My life has been one of many events. I am now seventy-six years old, and can say by looking back over it that the Lord has been very gracious to me. I have received much, and given as I was led of Him, according to the light I had. Have been walking in Beulah Land for over thirty-eight years. Of late have been advanced into the light of the Revelations. Mrs. Lawson (my friend) brought me a book entitled "Early Writings of Mrs. E. G. White," which I finished reading on my birthday, June 17, 1905. I did not accept her teaching at once, but waited on God for direction. I was deeply impressed, and was in continual prayer and meditation until 4:40 P.M. June 19. As I sat sewing and thinking, my thought settled on Rev. 14:12. "Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Praise the Lord how the light shone on that text and the scene depicted in that verse. I at once knew He (the great Teacher) was present and was teaching me. O, how happy I was after I had asked His forgiveness for my ignorance in keeping the wrong day for the Sabbath. I readily obtained pardon, and now my light is as the light on "the path of the just" "that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." O, how I do praise the Lord for such a free and full salvation, which takes in the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Pray for me that I may be a consistent Bible Christian, and let my "light so shine before men" that they may see my good works, and glorify our Father which is in heaven. Your sister in Christ,
