DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I have long felt a desire to write you, but a failure of my sight has prevented me from doing so, and I am now dependent on a friend for penning a few thoughts at this time.
It is about eighteen months since I was led, as I trust, by the Spirit of God to remember the true Sabbath, and my obligations to keep it holy unto the Lord, calling it a "delight, honorable." At that time I had not seen the Review, neither did I know any one to look to for sympathy and encouragement; but as soon as I became convinced of its claims upon me, I immediately resolved to walk in the light that I had, though all the world should be against me. A few weeks after, some Nos. of the Review were sent me, from which I learned there were many others, who like pilgrims and strangers are scattered abroad, but endeavoring like their divine Master, to "magnify the law and make it honorable." Since then my heart has been cheered by the evidences from history and otherwise that we are on safe ground at least, by observing the seventh day as the Sabbath of the Lord our God. Oh that in all things we may be enabled to walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Since my own mind has been established I have felt a strong desire that others might see this glorious truth as it has been presented to my mind, and have endeavored, as opportunity afforded, to scatter what reading I have had upon this subject; and none but God knows how I have longed to see some one of like precious faith, with whom I could converse on this and kindred subjects. Will not some of our brethren who can present the truth in a clear, lucid manner, come this way and give us one or more lectures? It seems to me there are some here who would embrace the truth, if it was brought before their minds in this way.
Should any one find it in their heart to come, inquire for Wm. Coon, my husband, who, though not a professor, is always ready to welcome to his house the servants of Christ. We are living near Euclid P. O., in the town of Clay, about ten miles from Syracuse. The meeting-house can be had almost any time at a short notice.
