The Joy of Obedience

By S. Albro

Bro. S. Albro writes from West Windsor, Mich., Oct. 20th, 1856:—"Dear brethren, my prayer is that we may be established in the truth of God's holy word, and be kept from the evils that are abroad in the land, and have that hope which is sure and steadfast. We are living in an age of the world when wickedness abounds, and mankind are seeking out new inventions, and the laws of God are rejected, and the traditions of men are established.

"Many times I feel to rejoice that my eyes have been opened and I have been led to try to keep the true Sabbath of the Lord. I can truly say, There is much joy and peace in believing and keeping the Commandments of God. The Lord is good to me and his law is my delight, and I praise the name of the Lord that I ever tasted the blessedness of obedience. To obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams. May the Lord keep us unto the day of his coming."
