Sister Austin’s Conversion and Sabbath Keeping
Sister C. Austin writes from Cambria, Wis.: "I have been thinking for some time that it would be a privilege to tell what great things the Lord has done for me. He has taken my feet from the miry clay of sin and placed them upon the Rock of Ages. It has been about a year since I commenced keeping the Sabbath. Last December I was at Mackford and heard Bro. Sanborn preach. Under his preaching I determined to give my heart entirely to God, to submit myself entirely to him, to give up the world and the things of the world, and take Christ for my portion. My companion and myself were buried with Christ in baptism by Bro. S. There are but three Sabbath-keepers here; but we meet every Sabbath evening for prayer-meeting, and the Lord is with us and blesses us. It seems strange that there are so few who are willing to live entirely for Christ. Some can give up all but Sunday-keeping, some all but tobacco."
