A Seventy-Year-Old Believer’s Testimony
By Wm. Peabody
Bro. Smith: This day I am three-score and ten years old. I think I can say something as Jacob said to Pharaoh when Joseph brought him in and set him before Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh; and Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou? And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and forty years. Few and evil have the years of my life been. Gen. xlvii, 7-9. It is nearly forty-two years since I embraced the Christian religion, and nearly eight years since I embraced the third angel's message. I think this has been the best part of my life. I have strong faith, looking for the coming of the Lord. I live alone in this village as to keeping the Sabbath. There are none nearer than Rochester. I sometimes go about thirty miles to meeting. This is my great enjoyment. I often think how happy we shall be when we all get into the kingdom. Yours of like faith.
