Remember the Lonely Ones
By Mary A. Beasley
BRO. SMITH: I would like to say to the dear brethren and sisters of like precious faith that it is over six years since I saw that I was breaking God's holy Sabbath. I providentially got hold of three or four numbers of the Review, and I very soon saw the light, and felt as if I could not resist it. I have been trying since that time to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and my Bible has been a new book to me. I see very clearly that the doctrines taught in the Review are the doctrines of the Bible. This is so plain it seems as if every one might see it, but there are none so blind as those that will not see. I have lent my neighbors books and papers to read. When they see the word advent that is enough. They don't wish to look at it any more. Dear brethren and sisters I am truly one of the lonely ones. There is but one in the neighborhood in which I live that I can converse with on the subjects that most interest me. I have to labor under a great many discouraging circumstances. I often think if I could attend some of your good meetings it would be a great help to me. I never had the privilege of attending an advent meeting but once or twice, then I met with the brethren in Burdie Settlement about nine miles from where I live. I heard Elder Poole preach from the third chapter of Genesis, 3rd and 4th verses. I was glad to hear the truth. Remember the lonely ones. MARY A. BEASLEY.
