Seaman Embraces Present Truth
By H. S. Seaman
Dear Brother: Although a stranger personally, yet I feel myself bound to you and to all that keep the commands of Jesus by stronger than earthly ties. It is but a few weeks since I knew of the existence of the little band of disciples. I had embraced your views on the immortality of the soul and the saint's inheritance, when through curiosity and a desire to ridicule, I read some Sabbath tracts and works on the prophecies, but the truth was so plain, the light so full and clear, that doubt and unbelief were impossible. Not only these particular points, but the whole Bible appears in a new light. I see a perfectly connected whole. I believe that I was converted years ago, and experienced the joys of religion, but I never before felt the perfect peace that I now feel in these truths. The ministry of the word has always been my object, and it is so still, but not as before. I look forward with pleasure, even with anxiety to the time when I shall preach the truth as it is in Jesus, and not the commandments of men. Hudson University, Granville, Ohio.
