Comfort for Lonely Sabbath Keepers
By L. A. Dodge
BRO. SMITH, I wish to say that the Review is a welcome visitor to us. We read it with delight, and especially the communications from the dear brethren and sisters, which are a comfort to us. We are alone in keeping the Sabbath, there being no one else in the place who keeps it, and yet we are not alone, for the Lord is with us to comfort us in our loneliness. Let us be of good comfort, and hold out with patience a little longer; for I believe the time is near at hand, when we shall all be gathered home in one family. There will be no lonely ones there. My dear brethren and sisters, let us strive to be prepared for the coming of the Lord. Let us awake out of sleep, and come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty; let us be zealous and repent, that we may have the tried gold, and white raiment. What we do, must be done quickly; O that we might all be found, clothed in white raiment, at the Lord's coming! From your unworthy sister.
L. A. DODGE.
