Finding Peace in Sabbath Keeping
By Selinda Carly
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I can truly say thus far the Lord has been my helper. When I look back on my past experience and see how the Lord opened the way for me to keep the commandments; I feel to praise his name. When I first became interested in the truth it seemed almost impossible for me to keep the Sabbath. But I felt it was truth and I must obey. But still I neglected it. Opposition and pride kept me back. O how unhappy I was. I soon found there was happiness for me in no other way but in obeying God, and finally came to the conclusion that I must keep the Sabbath. O what peace and happiness then came into my soul. The Bible became my companion by day and by night. Praise the name of the Lord. I thought I could make my friends and neighbors see as I did, but soon found they turned a deaf ear to what I had to say. There are but two in this town that keep the Sabbath. I feel lonely, but I am happy. I have never heard but one lecture on the Sabbath. Sr. Harvey sends me now and then the Review, which I receive as a welcome messenger, but as she lives some ways from here I do not get them often. I cannot get along without them. Will you please send the Review to me? Your unworthy sister striving to keep all of God's commandments. SELINDA CARLY. Lunenburg, Jan. 25th, 1855.
