Alone Keeping God’s Commandments
By William Gould
Bro. Smith: I feel thankful for your kind favor in sending me the Review. In reading the communications from the brethren and sisters, I am reminded of the passage in Malachi iii. 16. "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another; and the Lord hearkened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name." Placed in the situation that many of us are, the Review is the only medium that we have of speaking often one to another. May God help us to exhort one another and so much the more as we see the day approaching. This town contains four or five thousand inhabitants, and I am the only one who is keeping the commandments of God. I feel lonely and need the prayers of the dear brethren and sisters to sustain me in this Sodom of a place. They look upon me as a very wicked person for working on the first day of the week. May the Lord bless you in your labor of love is my prayer. William Gould.
