A New Believer’s Testimony
By B. F. Colvin
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I have been a subscriber and constant reader of your very valuable paper, the Review and Herald, nearly one year. I was induced to become a subscriber by Bro. M. L. Dean of Ulysses, who also gave me tracts to read, and by comparing the doctrines contained in them and the Review, with the Holy Scriptures. I learn that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord our God; and I am endeavoring to keep it, together with the other commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. I wish to be a reader of the Review while it is published, as I fully believe the doctrines it teaches. It has been about six months since I embraced the Sabbath with the kindred doctrines, as believed and taught by our Sabbath-keeping brethren. I meet with the brethren in Ulysses, which is about ten miles from here, it being the nearest place where brethren of like faith reside and meet for worship. We are blessed with the occasional labors of Bro. Wm. S. Ingraham. I feel to rejoice and praise God for the privilege of reading the communications from the brethren scattered abroad. Oh, may the Lord bless them and keep them in readiness for the time of trouble which we must soon pass. May we be numbered among the hundred and forty-four thousand, which are soon to stand with the Lamb on mount Zion, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. O brethren be watchful and prayerful. Let not your faith fail; for soon you are to reap a rich reward. Yours in expectation of soon seeing Jesus. B. F. COLVIN. Potter Co., Pa., Sept. 13th, 1855.
