DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I am often led at the return of the holy Sabbath, to exclaim, how good is God, in giving the Sabbath to man, that he may rest from the toils and cares of this life, and be refreshed in body and mind. But those only who keep the Sabbath holy unto the Lord can be truly refreshed in mind.
I feel to rejoice in God that he ever gave me a desire to do his will, and by his Holy Spirit led me to strive to keep all of his commandments, and the faith or testimony of his dear Son, knowing that if I do these things with singleness of heart, I shall have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city.
I spent the last Sabbath with my uncle and aunt, (D. & L. Richmond,) at Greenbush, Clinton Co., Mich., who are striving to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus; and we have been refreshed together. I believe that God has other jewels in this place, and if some faithful messenger would come here and set forth the present truth in its true light, they would gladly receive it.
