Lonely Sabbath Keeping
By A. W. Smith
Bro. White : It is with a heart of gratitude to God for his goodness, that I write a few words to let the brethren and sisters of like faith know that I still love the cause. And my prayer is that the truth may spread through the length and breadth of the land. I wish that some of the preachers could come here, for I believe there are some honest ones, who if they could hear a course of lectures, would come out on the side of truth. It has been most two years since I have heard any preaching by a Seventh-day Adventist, except what I get through the Review; that comes as a messenger of peace to cheer me in my loneliness. I see many dark and lonely hours in trying to keep the Lord's Sabbath here. There are no Sabbath-keepers in this place except myself. About seven miles from here there is a sister, and that is the nearest one that I know of. Although the road be dark, I believe through grace I can conquer, and by the grace of God I am determined to press forward to the end, for such only have the promise. I desire to be with those that are ready and waiting for the Lord, who will come to redeem his children. I love the appearing of that dear Saviour, who has died that we poor sinful mortals might live.
