A Sabbath Keeper’s Call to Faithfulness
By L. Eggleston
BRO. SMITH : For the first time I take up my pen to write a few lines through the Review to the brethren and sisters scattered up and down the earth. I have been a Sabbath-keeper some time, but never realized, in so great a measure as I now do, how much there is for me to do before I can enter the kingdom of God. There appears now, to my opened eyes, a great work to be done before the coming of Jesus; and each and every one of God's people have a part in it. Each one of us exerts an influence; and it is fearful to think that that influence may be to the dishonor, rather than the glory, of God's cause. Why should we fear to serve him that created all things? We ought rather to consider it a blessed privilege (as it is) to come so close to that majestic Being, through his dear Son that has done so much for us. Then let us go on trusting in the promises of our Lord, and not care what wicked persons may say. If we are faithful only a little while longer, we shall have the crown and golden harp. Pray for me that I may have a place with you on mount Zion. Your unworthy sister.
