A Testimony from Lagrange
Sister B. Smith writes from Lagrange, Wis.: "For the first time I write to inform you that I am a trying to obey God in keeping his commandments having been a believer in the seventh day Sabbath for four years. I have often thought when reading the many stirring epistles from the brethren and sisters that I would write, but I have neglected it until now I am blessed with the privilege of reading the Review after sister Spur reads it, as we live but two miles apart. We meet together now and then and the Lord blesses us two. Blessed be his holy name! I confess that I am too much in the lukewarm state, and I must be zealous and repent. O that the Lord would help us all to gird on our armour anew and come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty. I can say at times I feel as though I was a stranger and a pilgrim here, and I can say with the poet,
No foot of land do I possess
No cottage in this wilderness,
And at times almost forsaken having no preaching; but I praise the Lord to-day that I can read the paper and that it comes laden with truth. My prayer is that it may be sustained."
