  30. LADY HUNTINGDON AND HER GARDENER.—Lady Huntingdon, having employed a man to work in her garden, took an opportunity to urge him to take some serious thoughts about his soul. Some years afterward she employed another man for the same purpose, and began to talk to him in the same way, expressing her fears that he never prayed nor looked to Christ for pardon. “Your ladyship is mistaken,” said he. “I heard what passed between you and James, at such a time, and the words designed for him took effect on me.” “How did you hear it?” she inquired. “I heard it,” he replied, “on the other side of the garden, through a hole in the wall, and shall never forget the impression I received.”2 paragraphs

  50. Bro. E. O. Jones writes from Lapeer Co., Mich.: It seems to me that there is no portion of God's word to which the people of God should give more heed, and strive harder to live out, than that found in Ro mans, chapter xii, entire. Let us all study it carefully. Its exhortations are to you, they are to me. Let us all profit by them.E. O. Jones1 paragraphs

  55. Bro. A. B. Brant writes from Faribault Co., Minn: The question was once put to our Lord, “What shall this man do?” He replied, “What is that to thee? Follow thou me.” The above question by Peter, and answer of our Lord, have been forcibly brought to my mind of late, by being twice asked what I thought should be done where the heads of a family were divided in regard to keeping the Sabbath. They say that it tends to destroy the Sabbath for the children, so that they regard neither day as sacred. It seems to me that the above answer of Jesus is applicable to all those who fear to obey God because of consequences. If we felt as we should, God’s right to command and our duty to obey, our only question would be, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” It does seem to me that any parent with the word of God as his or her guide, can easily make a child see that there is a positive command for the seventh-day Sabbath, while there is no Scriptural authority for the first day as the Sabbath. But they cannot so easily incline the heart to obey that command. That, they can ask God to do, and leave the event with him. And oh! what ground for faith to stand on, is the word of truth, “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” Immediately following, he says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”A. B. Brant1 paragraphs
  56. SISTER E. LOOMIS writes from Licking Co., Ohio: It has been one year and six months, since I was led into the light of the present truth. Ever since that time, I have been trying to keep all the commandments of God, and the faith of his dear Son. I can say that I now see and understand my Bible better than I ever did before, but I am often brought to exclaim, Can it be possible that such a poor, sinful worm of the dust, as I am, can ever be made fit to stand on that beautiful sea of glass? Yes, praise the Lord, I have the promise, if faithful, of being one of that number that will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and ever be with him. I must watch more and pray more. I have dedicated my all to the Lord. I am willing to become little or nothing, for the sake of my Saviour. If we would take Jesus for our pattern, we must avoid all foolish talking, jesting, and joking, lead a sober, quiet life as it becomes followers of Christ. As we profess to be looking for his coming, let us trim our lamps anew, put on the wedding garment, and be prepared to see the King in his beauty. Glorious thought! It lifts my spirit above all earthly things to think our Lord has gone to prepare such a home for us. Is it not worth striving for?Sister E. Loomis1 paragraphs
  57. Bro. J. D. Hull writes from Henry, Ill.: I have long desired to speak through the Review and tell a little of my experience, trials and determinations, and the goodness of God to me. While reading in Testimony No. 13 that but a small portion of those who believe the truth will be sanctified through it, and be saved, my mind was carried back a few years in the past, when every member of my father's family, of which eight are now living, could rejoice together in keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. But alas! only two or three at most remain steadfast. Some have gone into infidelity and Spiritualism, while the rest are now taking an active part in the Iowa defection. And it has been with no small struggle that I have gained the victory in battling the dark influence of the latter. Inducements have been held out, and various plans devised to prejudice my mind against the proceedings of S. D. Adventists. Letters have been written to me that visions had been had about me that I could never be saved, and that the Lord would come before 1868, and now, contrary to this vision, they were putting it off still further in the future, &c. These are a part of the many like plans that Satan has used to try to overthrow me. But these things only strengthen my faith in the glorious truths that I love. We are down in the sifting time; and it will only be through earnest, agonizing prayer, and entire consecration to the will of God, that we can escape the old serpent's beguiling influence. May each of us set a double watch over our own hearts and ask ourselves the question concerning the clause in Testimony No. 13, referred to above. Is it I? Truly it is I, either to be forever lost or to be eternally saved. Then let us strive for salvation. It may be we may gain eternal life; and we can no more than lose it if we strive for it.J. D. Hull1 paragraphs

  76. A GLORIOUS THING.—When John Foster was prostrated by disease, when his noble intellect was like a strong man fettered, his friend said: “It must be a hard thing for you to lie here unable to write, unable even to think,” “Yes,” he replied; “but I can pray, and that is a glorious thing.”1 paragraphs

  78. We have no Bible Class Report this week, from the fact that the first Sabbath in the year, Jan. 4, was observed by this church as a day of fasting and prayer in view of the important year upon which we have entered. The day was occupied with one long meeting. After some remarks by Bro. Gage on Acts xxiv, 25, the substance of which, at our request, he will soon furnish for the Review, one hundred and thirty testimonies were borne. The meeting was one of interest. Many noble resolutions were formed and expressed. Each one seemed to be desirous of commencing the year aright, and making its days, weeks and months, all fruitful seasons of spiritual advancement and prosperity.Editor1 paragraphs
