Trusting God While Keeping Sabbath
By E. V. Wiard
Dear Bro. White:—I thank the Lord that I ever heard the truth. It is about three years since I felt the importance of keeping all the commandments, and I am no less determined to keep them now. When I first began to keep the Sabbath, a neighbor told me that I should lose one day's work every week; but I told him I should trust in the Lord for food and raiment; and there has not a First-day passed which I have not had enough to do. I still trust in the Lord, and mean to unto the end. The church in this place are trying to arise and come upon higher ground. The paper that has been sent out from Michigan has been sent to this place, but it was sent back. It finds no friends here. You have the prayers of the church in this place that the Lord will sustain you in your labors of love in sending out the Review to the world. Your work is for the Lord; then let not your enemies hinder you by their devices; for the Lord is for you, and who can be against you? Yours striving to keep the commandments.
E. V. WIARD.
