A Solitary Believer’s Sabbath Hope
By Mary Roberts
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I have received the Review for some months past, and read it with pleasure, and, I trust, profit. I fully concur in its general position relative to the Sabbath of the Lord our God, and also in respect to the coming glory, and restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. In view of the fulfillment of prophecy, which we have witnessed for the last ten years, together with the glory which the unfulfilled prophecies foreshow, what manner of persons ought we to be, in all holy conversation and godliness, and how should it lead us to gird up the loins of our mind, to be sober and hope unto the end for the grace which is to be brought unto us at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen we love, in whom though now we see him not, yet believing, we rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory. I feel lonesome here, having no one to speak to on the Sabbath, but I have your papers which cheer my heart, and I can truly respond to the following lines: Brighter joys than earth can give,
Win me away—
Pleasures that forever live,
I cannot stay.
MARY ROBERTS.
