The Assurance of Faith

By Mrs. R. A. Jeys

I HAVE just been reading the dear old REVIEW, and the articles and reports are so soul inspiring and encouraging that I am praising God for the progress of the work.

It is now more than fifty years since my husband and I accepted the truths of the third angel's message through the labors of a kind neighbor who came to our house and read and studied the Bible with us. And I have been thinking of the wonderful changes that have taken place in these years.

A few weeks after we had accepted present truth, our oldest son was born. We then and there consecrated his young life to the Lord, and trained him up with this thought in mind. Today he is connected with one of our institutions in the South as Bible teacher.

Then there were but a handful of those who were able to carry the message, and their names seemed like household words, so familiar were they as we read their articles week by week in the REVIEW, which has been a constant visitor. (How could we do without it?) But one by one they have been called to rest, and their names have disappeared. But their works remain. Other hands grasp the banner and lift the standard of truth before the world.

Last August my dear companion was laid to rest, and I am left to finish life's journey alone; but thank the Lord, it is not far to the end. Soon the work will be finished, and we shall go home to our Father's house. O, for a fresh baptism of his Spirit to enable us to endure to the end!
