Testimony to the Present Truth
By S. R. C. Denison
Dear Bro. White:—Since I came here I have tried to do what I could to spread the glorious truths of the third angel's message, in circulating books and papers and talking where I could find ears to hear.—I have been blessed of God in so doing, but what the result of my labor will be, I cannot tell. At present we are entirely alone in keeping the Sabbath, but the Lord is with us, and we can truly say that it is a blessed thing to obey God. The paper to us is a great blessing. It contains meat in due season for our hungry souls, and the letters from the dear brethren are so inexpressibly sweet that we cannot restrain the tears of joy that flow as we peruse them. Bro. Andrews' Letters to C. are just what we needed. He has wielded the mighty weapons, furnished in the word of God, in a bold and fearless manner, and in my mind has made a clean sweep of the refuge of lies to which those resort who oppose God's holy law, which the great Apostle pronounced, just, and good. Although brought up to keep the Sabbath from my youth, I never saw the necessity of it as I now do, and never was so firmly rooted and grounded in the truth as at present. I do not feel like giving back, but by the grace of God am determined to press forward, keeping the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, until I pass through the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem, where I shall have right to the Tree of Life and drink of the pure fountain of living waters. If any of the brethren come to Canada we hope they will not forget us. Your brother in the patience of the saints, waiting for redemption at the appearing of Jesus.
