A Testimony on Baptism and Christian Living
By James Sawyer
Bro. White: In looking over some of the past Nos. of the Review I noticed the request had been made for brethren to write, not only ministers, but others, not write to fill up space, but write soul-stirring articles and testimonies of living Christians. I wish to be alive. I wish to be awake and have an eye single to God's glory. I have had great reason to rejoice that my wife took a decided stand for the Lord. I love the ordinance of baptism as a distinguishing characteristic of the Christian. It was wisely appointed. To die to the world, then to be buried, to be willing to follow Christ into the grave. &c. All this makes an era in the true believer's course which weighs with much effect upon a gazing world. I bless the Lord for all his instrumentalities in the church. May I never again be so foolish as I have once been. O for humility which heeds the counsel of the true witness. Yours in hope of a growth in grace.
JAMES SAWYER.
