By M. J. Bennett

From Bro. Bennett.

BRO. WHITE : I would like to say to the brethren and sisters through the Review, that I am striving to overcome. It is nearly two years since I commenced to keep the commandments of God. I am truly thankful for the light of present truth, that is shining on my pathway. I rejoice that it has been my privilege to listen to the sound of the third angel's message. Two years ago this winter I listened to a course of lectures given by Bro. Cornell. I was determined to resist the truth, which I did for some time, but soon became convinced on the Sabbath. I did not however commence to keep it until the May following, when Bro. Bates was here the first time. I attended all his meetings. There were a number baptized among whom was a dear friend of mine. I came to the conclusion that they had something that I knew not of; and from that time I made up my mind to enlist under the banner of king Jesus; and by the help of God's grace I mean to go through to the kingdom.

Yours in hope of eternal life.
