Embracing the Sabbath

By S. A. Stiles

From Sister Stiles.

Bro. Smith: I would like to say a few words for the first time to the dear saints, through the Review. I feel thankful for the light of present truth that has shone across my pathway. Some three years since a dear brother and his companion embraced the Sabbath. I became somewhat interested. They soon moved to Wisconsin. That interest wore away in a measure; but I still thought I would like to hear more. The Lord in his goodness opened the way the following winter. I saw that I was breaking one of the commandments each week. And as I read that this is the love of God that we keep his commandments, I stepped out upon the Sabbath, and have since been trying so to live as to have a home on the new earth.
I make many crooked paths, but if I know my own heart, I want to be just right. O I would praise the Lord for his lovingkindness and tender mercies to one so unworthy as I am. I believe the Saviour soon will come to take his weary children home. Loved ones that sleep in Jesus will then come forth to die no more. Hail happy day.
Your sister striving to overcome. S. A. STILES. Roxbury, Vt.
