Determined to Keep God’s Commandments
Bro. C. S. Glover writes from Sylvan, Mich., Aug. 29th, 1853:—"It is with pleasure I inform you of my determination to continue on in keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. It is a glorious way of living when we can feel the approving smiles of the Saviour resting upon us, and feel peace like a river flowing into our souls. Although we may have trials and troubles to pass through, still, we can look up, and rejoice, knowing that the arm on which we lean will carry us safely through. I thank the Lord for the precious promises contained in his Word. They are like oil poured into the wounded soul. "The enemy still rages here. The school-house in which we have held our meetings was last Sabbath closed against us, and we went to Bro. Pierce's, where the Lord was pleased to meet with us and bless us.—I mean by the grace of God assisting me, to so live that I may at last be numbered with his people."
