Sabbath Converts Need Further Help
By Elvira Sanford
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I wish to say to the scattered flock that I am striving to keep the commandments of God. One year ago last February I with my family commenced keeping the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. As the little band here are seemingly remote from others of like precious faith, we hear but little about them except through the Review, which comes to us a welcome messenger laden with rich stores of gospel truth. It cheers my heart to read the letters of the dear brethren and sisters, and I would say to them, press forward and victory will soon be ours. There are some indications of good here. One woman near us, by reading tracts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, became convinced of the Sabbath, and being willing to do the will of God, commenced to keep it. I think if some of the preaching brethren could find it in their hearts to come here, good might be done. Many appear to be convinced that the fourth commandment is binding on us but fearing the reproaches of men more than the wrath of God, they still go on in the worship of the beast; but dear brethren and sisters, let us be found keeping the commandments of God and striving for the faith of Jesus, that we may have right to the tree of life and enter in through the gates into the City. Yours waiting for the soon coming of Christ.
