DEAR BRO. WHITE:—It has been with deep interest that I have perused and carefully compared with the Scriptures of divine truth the many communications found in the Review, and many of your books and tracts which, through the agency of some good brother has been thrown in my way. It has been more than two years since my mind was awakened to this subject, and I began a thorough investigation in the Scriptures for that, which would substantiate my position with regard to the immortality of the soul, the Sanctuary and the Sabbath, but found no permanent platform whereon to rest which would agree with my former belief. Yet, I found, that the theory advocated by that little band which are denominatively styled Advents, was, as far as I could discover, in perfect unison with the Bible; and the dark and apparently impenetrable mist which, I must candidly acknowledge, has ever seemed to veil the horizon of my mind with regard to the Bible, has been torn away, reconciling many positions, which were before wholly unintelligible.
The Bible no longer seemed a sealed book; the mists, emanating from the creeds of man, were forced to disperse that the rays of divine truth might shine in all their beauty.
Often do I ask myself, Shall I be one of that bright, that happy band, "who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb?" It has been about nine months since I became convinced, that to be a true disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus, I must keep God's commandments, one of which is, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." I have been striving in my weak way to keep it since. HELEN E. SIMS.
