A Testimony of Faith and Perseverance

From Bro. Davis.

BRO. SMITH: I have often thought I would like to write and let you know what the Lord has done for us, although unworthy of the least blessing from him. When I look back and view my past life, I see that it is by the grace of God that I am what I am. It has been a little over a year since we commenced to try to keep all God's commandments and the faith of Jesus. The Bible that once I looked upon as a mere history, and very imperfect at that, has now become my delight; and I can truly say that I delight to meditate on the law of God. I thank the Lord that my lot has been cast among Sabbath-keepers, and that the Lord gave me a willing heart to receive the truth. I believe the third angel's message is bringing out a people to serve the Lord, and I want to be found among that number that will keep the whole law.
It cheers my heart to read the letters that come to us through the Review from week to week. Time is short, and if we are faithful we shall soon see the One we long for. It is only a short time that we have to suffer, and then we shall have eternal life, and be permitted to see each other face to face. I mean by God's assisting grace to be an overcomer and stand with the remnant on mount Zion.
Yours striving for the kingdom W. B. DAVIS. Brodhead, Wis.
