The Sabbath and the Sealing Time
By Margaret Cramer
DEAR BRO. WHITE :—I feel grateful to God for the light that shines upon my pathway, and that my blessed Saviour has counted me worthy to suffer a little reproach for his name's sake. O, how sweet is the promise that if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him. Last First-day Bro. Lawrence met with us, and gave us a portion of meat in due season. Since that meeting I have been led to search my Bible more prayerfully, and I find there is a great deal contained in the faith of Jesus. I want to be sanctified by obeying the whole truth, so that I may be able to stand in the time of trouble, when there will be no Mediator. I believe that we are now in the sealing time, and soon the last servant of God will be sealed, and then shall the plagues be poured upon those that obey not God. I want to be found keeping all the commandments of God, so that I may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the City. O, how plain it looks that the Sabbath is a sign between God and his people, that it is the Lord that doth sanctify them. I rejoice that God has opened my eyes to behold wondrous things out of his law. Yours, waiting for the Kingdom, MARGARET CRAMER. Clinton, N. Y. June, 1853.
