Not Against but for the Truth.

PAUL says, We can do nothing against the truth but for the truth. This is often true of our opponents, who in their efforts to hinder the cause, only advance it. Sister E. L. Mellinger writes from North Star, Mich.:
Through God's mercy I am permitted to give in my testimony on the side of truth. I heard the message of truth the past season at Ithaca, but gave but little heed to it then. It seems as if the wiles of Satan were exerted against me, but thank the Lord, I have been awakened at last. And I think it has been brought about by attending modern orthodox meetings, and hearing the perversions of the Advent doctrine, and by those too whom I had always believed to be Christians. But
"God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform."
And I am now ready to join the band of Sabbath-keepers at Ithaca, waiting with patience the appearing of our Lord to claim possession of his kingdom. God grant that I may be prepared to meet him in peace, and receive an immortal crown, and dwell with him in the new earth, where there will be no more parting with friends, but where all will be love and unity.
