Life Sketches of Ellen G. White

us coldly, and then began asking a few plain, direct questions, as to
whether we kept the Sabbath and believed the past messages to be of
God. When he was satisfied that we had come with truth, he joyfully
welcomed us.
Our meetings in this place were cheering to the few who loved the
truth. We rejoiced that the Lord in His providence had directed us that
way. We enjoyed the presence of God together, and were comforted to
find a few who had stood firm all through the scattering time, holding
fast the messages of truth through the mist and fog of spiritualizing
and fanaticism. This dear family helped us on our way after a godly
sort.
