Sabbath Truth Spreading in Carby’s Community
By Selinda Carby
Bro. Smith :—I thank the Lord that he has seen fit in his kind providence to place me among his despised Advent Sabbath-keepers. I praise him that I ever heard the Third Angel's Message proclaimed. I believe with all my heart that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord our God. It is the day that was set apart and sanctified and blest, and is just as binding now as when first written with the finger of God on stone. A little over a year ago, I commenced keeping the Sabbath, and amidst all the fiery trials I have had to pass through, I am still trying to keep all the commandments of God, and God has blessed me. When I commenced keeping the Sabbath there were but three sisters keeping it in our town or county; but now my companion and our nearest neighbors, are united in keeping it with me. Praise the Lord. Bro. Hutchins came to our place not long ago. On the Sabbath he held a meeting at our house. The neighbors were notified, and we felt that it was meat in due season while he spoke to us upon the signs of the times and the Sanctuary. On First-day, with very short notice, the people gathered at the school-house to hear for the first time a Sabbath lecturer. In the forenoon he spoke upon the signs of the times, and in the afternoon upon the Sabbath. As the fruit of his labors the neighbors before mentioned came out and kept the Sabbath, while many began to search their Bibles to see if these things are so, and we trust that God has a number here that will yet come out and have the seal of the living God placed upon them. May the God of heaven ever bless Bro. Hutchins. Many are inquiring, Won't he come again, I want to hear more upon this subject. My prayer is that the Lord will send Bro. Hutchins or some other good brother this way soon. The way seems to be prepared for good to be done here. The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. I do feel to pray the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth more laborers into the field. Dear brethren and sisters, although the enemy has come down in great wrath, and seems ready to176stroy the remnant, let us stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free. O may we walk in that strait and narrow path that leads to life everlasting, that we may have a right to the tree of life and enter in through the gates into the city.
