S. MCINTOSH

By S. McIntosh

From Sister McIntosh.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS : It is almost a year since I commenced to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. Previous to that time I had been careless and indifferent concerning my future welfare, and delighted in the pleasures of the world. Although the Spirit of the Lord often strove with me I was too proud to yield to its call. I thought if I should become a Christian I should lose all my enjoyment; but praise be to God who showed me the truth, and taught me to obey him, I find more enjoyment in serving him than I ever did in the pleasures of the world. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the tents of wickedness, As I see the signs of the times fast thickening around, I feel like girdling on the whole armor, that I may be prepared to resist all the powers of the adversary, and to meet Jesus at his coming. Truly we are living in perilous times, and we should be prepared, having oil in our vessels, and our lamps trimmed and burning.

Your sister striving to overcome.
