A Couple Embrace the Sabbath
By H. C. Bullis
Bro. Smith: For the first time I attempt to address you, and through your paper the dear brethren and sisters who love the present truth. One year ago the 13th of March last, I decided to keep the Sabbath. My greatest fears of opposition were from my dear wife; but I went to the Lord with the matter, and to my astonishment she was not more than twenty-four hours behind me in obeying the truth; and thus we began to live out its principles together. It has done much for us, and we feel grateful to the Lord, and under him, to the good brethren and sisters, for his mercy in not cutting us asunder in the midst of our rebellion; for we were at war with God's commandments; yet we claimed to enjoy some religion. O, how thick and dark the veil that tradition had woven over our vision! but thanks be to God who tore it away, and let us see the requirements of his law. And further, we thank him for the sweet consolation of his grace and love that we have felt since we have been trying to obey him. We have no discouragements to speak of to the brethren. We believe that God is fully able, and more than willing to save us. We ask an interest in the prayers of the church, whom we hope to meet on mount Zion. Yours in the truth.
H. C. Bullis.
