A Lonely Sabbath Keeper’s Testimony
By M. Wells
BRO. WHITE: I think I can truly appreciate the Review as it comes richly laden with truth; for I am one of the lonely ones, not having had the privilege of meeting with those of like precious faith since last September. Though I have been all alone, I can say I have grown strong in the Lord. I became interested in present truth under the preaching of Bro. Hull, while he was laboring with the tent at Eagle Harbor, N. Y., last tent season. There the way of duty and eternal life were so plainly shown from the Scriptures, I could not refuse to walk therein. I had some opposition to encounter from those who deemed themselves my best friends; yet God gave me strength to take my stand with Sabbath-keepers. I would not now turn back for all the pleasures of a vain and trifling world. Though I find as I return among my former and youthful companions, it requires much prayer and watchfulness to walk in such a manner as not to wound the cause of Christ, it is my determination to live in such a way that the world may know that I have been found of him. I was rather incredulous in regard to the visions until I gave the subject a fair investigation. Satan long whispered, "Spiritualism, Mormonism," but the good Spirit won the victory; and I find I progress much faster since I received them in full, than I did before. I want to lay aside every ornament save the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit. I wish some messenger could see it his duty to come this way, for I think there are honest hearts here who would embrace the truth, could they have the privilege of hearing it proclaimed. The signs of the times indicate the soon appearing of our Saviour, so that what is done must be done speedily. The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Let those who enjoy the blessing of meeting together for prayer and praise, remember the lonely ones in their supplications, and may we all have on the wedding garment and be found without spot when Christ shall come. Yours hoping to be fitted for translation.
M. Wells.
