Striving to Keep God’s Commandments
By William S. Lane
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I am still striving to keep all the commandments of God and faith of Jesus. I am still striving to overcome all things that are contrary to the will of the Lord. It is now about two years since I first embraced the message of the third angel. During this time I have passed through some trying scenes; but I can say at the present time that all things work together for good to them that love God. I love God, and I love to keep his commandments. I believe that Jesus is soon coming to take his wearied children home, and I am led to make the inquiry, Shall I be among that number? I feel determined, the Lord being my helper, to meet the dear saints on mount Zion. Praise the Lord! the truth looks more precious than ever before. I am situated about fifteen miles from any of like precious faith, but I oft times feel that the Lord is here and that to bless. I think that there are some here that would embrace the truth if they could attend a course of lectures. May the Lord direct some one of his chosen messengers this way. The Review is meat in due season. It does me good to read the letters from the dear brethren and sisters of like precious faith. Your unworthy brother striving for the kingdom.
WILLIAM S. LANE.
