A Brother Converted to the Sabbath
By D. W. Emerson
BRO. SMITH: I take this opportunity to let the dear saints scattered abroad know what the Lord is doing for us in this place. I feel to praise God's holy name, that I have through his infinite goodness and mercy, been enabled to see the error of my ways and turn my feet into the strait and narrow path that the blessed Saviour marked out for his followers. I pray that God may help us to realize the awful responsibility that rests upon us in these last days. Dear brethren and sisters, do we realize it? I feel at times that I do not as I ought. But I can truly say my path grows brighter day by day. I have a brother who came to see me, with his mind thoroughly prejudiced against the Sabbath; but all his preconcerted ideas had to fail before the plain testimony of God's holy word; he went away resolved to no longer follow the traditions of men, but to keep the commandments of God. My prayer is that he may prove faithful. He was brought out in the great revival last winter. May the Lord help us to arise and put on the whole armor, and fight manfully the good fight, that we may receive a crown of immortal glory at the appearing of our blessed Lord and Saviour. Your brother striving to overcome.
