MILES C. HOLIDAY

By Miles C. Holiday

From Bro. Holiday.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I desire to say a few words through the Review, for the first time, in honor of the cause of God. It has been about four months since I listened to a course of lectures delivered in this village by Bro. Cornell, and I bless God that the subjects of prophecy, the Sabbath, and the near coming of Christ looked plain to me, and that I had a heart willing to receive it. For the space of two years I have been searching for the truth, and I have not found a sure resting-place for my faith and hope until I heard the third angel's message.
Dear brethren, the third angel's message does seem good to me. Who can help loving it? I am determined through the grace of God to press my way onward, to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. O there is a glorious hope before us which is like an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast.
There is a goodly number of Sabbath-keepers in this village. We are laboring under opposition from other denominations and non-professors, but their efforts only strengthen us; for we know that the true people of God shall suffer persecution. At the commencement of every Sabbath we meet together for prayer and exhortation, for which we receive a blessing. Sabbath morning is occupied in social meeting, Sabbath School and Bible class. We are all of us young in this work, but our earnest prayer is for strength and grace from on high, and we are continually receiving it. We see that prophecy in the past has been fulfilled to the very letter, and we now are seeing it fulfilling also.
We were happy to receive a visit from Bro. Bates, for we needed strength and advice. We would also feel happy to receive a call from any of the messengers as often as convenient.
Dear brethren and sisters, we want to be a portion of those who will come off victorious over the beastand image, and that will stand on mount Zion and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.
Your brother striving for heaven.
