WM. R. SHERRARD

By William R. Sherrard

From Bro. Sherrard.

BRO. SMITH : I wish to say to the brethren and sisters scattered abroad, that it is about ten months since I embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, and I have no desire to turn back, though previous to this I was keeping the first day in all good conscience, thinking the Sabbath had been changed to the first day. But when I went to the Bible to see when and where it was changed, I could not find it. So now I and my companion are trying to keep all ten of the commandments, and can truly call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable.

Dear brethren and sisters, let us all be more faithful. I find the closer I live to duty, the better my enjoyments. O may the good Spirit ever influence us all to do what God has commanded us to do, and let the commandments of men go.

Yours striving to overcome everything that is not Christ-like. He is our Pattern, and we should imitate the Pattern as near as we can.
