THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

By C. M. Shepard

Bro. Smith: I have read a few numbers of the Review which have been kindly loaned me by some of my sisters who believe and practice the present truth in this vicinity, and I feel that I must be a subscriber for it myself so as to have all the papers to send to my relatives and friends. I cannot resist the truth and I trust I never shall. In the year of 1844 I was firm in the faith that our Master was coming, and great was my disappointment. Of late I have been reading your work on the sanctuary and the 2300 days, and now it all looks clear to me, the past, the present, and the future. It had been such a great mystery to me that the people of the Lord should be so deceived as they seemed to have been in that movement. But no. The words of the Saviour are true. My sheep hear my voice and they follow me; a stranger will they not follow, for they know not the voice of strangers. It is to me a joyful thought that we are nearing the glorious morning of the resurrection when our faith will be lost in sight. Let us be courageous. A few more trials. A few more heart-rendings, just as much as we need to make us perfect and the victory is won. I pray that God will send forth laborers to awaken all the honest who are slumbering, and bring the light where all can see it. I trust I shall always love the narrow way, and be a victor.
