Finding the Old Paths

By J. Edgerton

From Bro. Edgerton.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I believe the time has come for the remnant to inquire for the old paths, and walk therein, as spoken by the prophet, Jeremiah. I can say in truth that it is not a vain thing to serve God and experience how great peace they have who love the law.
Since Bro. Bates was here last Sept., I have been trying to keep the Lord's Sabbath, though at first the cross seemed too great for me to bear, yet after searching the Scriptures I was enabled by the light of truth to behold wondrous things out of God's holy law. I believe it was the providence of God that brought Bro. Bates here, and with him the Review and Herald. These instrumentalities have been a blessing to me through the belief of the truth.
Myself and wife are the only believers in the Advent faith in this place, and are counted heretics; but thanks be to our blessed Lord and Saviour for his promise: "Behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me to give every man according as his work shall be." Even so, come Lord Jesus.
Your brother in patience. J. EDGERTON. Parma, Cuy. Co., Ohio, May 28th, 1854.
