A Sabbath-Keeper’s Testimony
By M. Gaskill
BRo. SMITH: As I have been reading the Review, I too have thought to say a few words through its columns. I know of a truth this way, though scorned by the multitude, is a blessed, glorious one. The nearer we approach the footsteps of our divine Lord and Master, the more enraptured are we with him, the way he has marked out, and the price which lies at the end of the race. My heart thanks the Lord for his goodness in giving me a disposition to hear and embrace the present truth. My hope is in God that he will give me grace to stand through every scene before us. We have our house built upon the sure foundation, "the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus," and if we but furnish it with the graces of the Spirit, reflect the lovely image of Jesus, and in all our ways acknowledge him, the floods may come, the winds blow, but we'll claim the promise, It shall not fall. If we are overcome it does not benefit us to go back, but to make another desperate effort, though besieged on every side, to go through. There are here five Sabbath-keepers, besides my husband and myself, making seven of us living within the boundaries of a mile. Pray for us, that we endure to the end, overcome all, and eventually stand with the Lamb on mount Zion. Your sister,
Olcott, N. Y.
