Testimony of a Tent-Meeting Convert
By Emily Richardson
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I feel a desire to let it be known what the Lord has done for such a poor unworthy child as I am. I went forty miles to attend a tent-meeting at Stoddard, N. H., Sept. 29th, and there for the first time I have heard the truth proclaimed by the Advent brethren. I thank the Lord and praise his holy name for the blessing I received by attending this meeting. I feel the love of God shed abroad in my heart. Let us be faithful. The Lord will help us if we try to be faithful. I mean to live up to the requirements of the holy word of God. I long for the appearing of our dear Saviour, and need patience to wait for him. I know there is much to be done, and but little time to do it in, and for that reason, I feel as though it is high time for us all to arise and put on the whole armor of God, and come up to the work of the Lord. I believe there are jewels in this place, to be gathered into the fold of God. I feel that it is my duty to let my light shine before others, that I may not be a stumbling block in their way. Your sister, waiting for the soon coming of our Lord.
EMILY RICHARDSON.
