Keeping the Sabbath Alone
Sister N. Guider writes from Currysville, Ind., Oct, 5th, 1857. "Bro. Smith : It is nearly three years since I commenced to keep the Lord's Sabbath, all alone, with many trials. I have endeavored to take heed to the faithful and true Witness, and repent. I feel that I am unworthy and weak, and all are against me, but thanks be to God for his tender mercy and grace. When I am cast down, if I do my duty and speak for Jesus and his suffering cause, he gives me a token of his love and strengthens me in the midst of my enemies. If it were possible for me to be at some of the conference meetings, I would be thankful. I desire the prayers of the church that the Lord would give me grace to overcome the world, the flesh and the wicked one; that I may lay all on the altar of the Lord, and cut loose from the world. Pray for my family that they may go with me. Yours striving for a blessed inheritance with the saints."
