Trials After Accepting the Sabbath
By D. W.; E. Emerson
Bro. Smith: It is now about three months since we received the Third Angel's Message, and commenced to keep the Sabbath of the Lord in preference to the commandments of men; and we feel to praise God that our eyes have been opened to the present truth. We can truly say that our path has not been all sunshine since we embraced the truth, for the enemies to the truth have gone so far as to threaten to starve us out, as they termed it. I am a poor mechanic, and therefore dependent on them for labor, but they have found it hard to fight against God. I know that he has been with us, and we have been able to rise above these trials and abuse. There is one Sabbath-keeper here besides ourselves. We have the the Review through the kindness of Bro. Cunningham, and feel that we cannot do without it, and the precious, cheering truths it advocates. It is the only preaching we have. Yours striving for the kingdom.
