Kept by the Power of God
By L. Dawson
Sister L. Dawson writes from Peesta, Iowa: Over ten years have passed since I embraced the third angel's message, and the truths connected with it. When I enlisted under its glorious banner, I endeavored to take a through spirit with me, and thus far have been kept by the power of God from falling out by the way, although for the last six years I have been deprived of the privilege of being with Sabbath-keepers, until last winter, when I had the privilege of being at the State Conference, and enjoying a heavenly sitting together with the saints, in Christ. I desire to be a humble, holy, and pure Christian in the sight of God, that I may "Be as holy and as happy,
And as useful here below,
As it is my Father's pleasure,
Jesus only, Jesus know." When I feel almost discouraged, and about to give up the truth, the Review comes with its precious draughts, fresh from the fountain head, in the way of a word of encouragement to the drooping spirit, and causes me to look up, knowing that my Redeemer draweth nigh. O may the time soon come when we shall be without fault or guile before the throne of God.
