A Call for Present Truth
By Mary E. Weaver
Bro. SMITH: I would like to cast in my mite and try to say a few words in honor of my Master's cause. I can truly say that I love God, and I love to keep his commandments. I love his dear children. By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandments; for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John v, 2, 3. I commenced keeping the seventh day about four years ago. I can look back on my path and see that I have erred many times. Satan has tried many ways to lead me from the path of duty. I have had many things to tempt and try me, and had it not been for the precious promises in God's holy word, I must have given up my hope; but I know that his promises are sure, and that he will save us if we put our trust in him. He has said he would have a tried people. Satan will deceive us if it is possible. I pray the Lord to give us strong faith that we may be able to resist all the influences that the Devil may throw around us. I have never heard a lecture on present truth. We would be very glad to have a messenger come among us and spend a few weeks. I think there are a few honest hearts here that would obey the truth if they could hear it proclaimed. There are four of us who are trying to obey God by keeping his commandments. We feel very thankful for the Review which we receive every week, bringing us cheering words from those of like precious faith. I am fully determined to serve the Lord, let come what will. We have but a short time to get ready for the coming of our blessed Master. We know that he that shall come will come and will not tarry. I want to be found with the wedding garment on, and my lamp trimmed and burning, and ready to go into the marriage supper of the Lamb. I would be glad if I could meet on the Sabbath with the dear brethren and sisters for prayer and praise; but if we are not permitted to mingle our voices together here in prayer, I pray that we may stand and shout victory together on mount Zion.
