A Testimony on Keeping the Sabbath
Sister E. M. McConnell writes from Ceresco, Mich., Apr. 13th, 1858 : "I thank God that in his infinite wisdom and mercy he saw fit to open my eyes and enlighten my understanding on the subject of the Sabbath. It is over two years since I commenced striving to keep all the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus, and I can truly say I have never been sorry that I started in this glorious cause. But I find it is much easier to float down the stream with the current than to row against it, and I know if I ever gain heaven it must be by the way of the cross. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. Ps. xxxiv, 19. I feel indeed that I need much of the grace of God in this evil time. God's people are truly a scattered people, but thank the Lord, he has promised to gather them, and he will do it. I feel strengthened by reading the Review. I bid you God speed. May God bless you and all his dear children, is the prayer of your unworthy sister."
