The Third Angel’s Message and Sabbath Faith
By Elvira Seely
Bro. Smith: I rejoice and praise God for his goodness to one so weak and unworthy as I am, that the precious truths of his word have been opened to my understanding, and that amidst all the darkness that surrounds me, I still love the present truth, and hope to be sanctified through believing and obeying it. I was permitted through the blessing of God, while on a visit to Saratoga the past Summer, to hear the message of the third angel explained, and I believe it is the last message of mercy to be given to a perishing world. Bro. Wheeler came to this place soon after my return home, and laid the truth before the people; but O, how few, I fear, have heard for eternity! I am as yet the only one in the place who keeps the Sabbath of the Lord; and I am determined to keep all the Commandments of God and the Testimony of Jesus. I feel very lonely at times, seeing no one of like precious faith, but continue to pray that the Lord will open the minds of some at least to see their awful state before it is too late, when there is no more sacrifice for sin to be offered in their behalf. It is truly a solemn thought that we are living under the last message of mercy. Soon the last note of warning will cease. Then he that is holy, will be holy still; and he who is filthy, will be filthy still. Yours in the hope of the soon appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
