MARY HILLARD

By Mary Hillard

From Sister Hillard.

BRO. WHITE: For the first time, I write a few words for the Review. It has not been long since I discovered the light and truth of the third angel’s message, and also the Bible Sabbath. I have been a member of the Baptist church about forty-one years. During this time, I tried to live the life of a devoted Christian. But never in my life did I see the Bible in its purity and harmony as I have since I heard the doctrine taught by the Seventh-day Adventists. I have been keeping the Bible Sabbath about four months, and I can truly say that I feel as though I was keeping the day set apart by God, instead of the one I formerly kept, set apart by man. Five weeks after I commenced to keep the Sabbath, my husband resolved to go along with me in the path of Bible light and truth. We are now both striving to gain a part in the first resurrection, that we may, with the rest of the redeemed, receive glory, honor, and immortality beyond the grave.

Yours, waiting for the Lord’s second appearing.
