These men preaching that the seventh day is the Sabbath do exceedingly trouble the ministers. Why?---Because it is the truth, and they cannot successfully deny it. If there was any Bible authority for Sunday keeping, they would not feel so badly. If such scripture could be found, their bitter mourning would be turned into joy immediately, their wails of sorrow would be turned into songs of rejoicing. They would sing,---

''This is the way we long have sought And mourned because we found it not.''

But, alas! they are like Rachel, weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are not. Even so the ministers are mourning for a ''thus saith the Lord'' for Sunday keeping, and refusing to be comforted, because it is not. No such divine authority can be found. As God has never commanded Sunday, the clergy are stirring up the corrupt politicians to supply the lack, by enacting human laws instead, and when they get the laws they ask for, what will become of the troublers of their Zion?

Rev. Mr. Trefren, of Napa, Cal., speaking of Adventist ministers, said,

''What we want is law in this matter, and we will get it, too, and then we will show these men what their end will be. The ministers are fast gaining control of the government, and we will soon see how they will use those men who will dare to differ with them.

During the winter I was joined by Brother Frank Johnson, an earnest, faithful worker in the cause, and we held meetings at Currie, about six miles from Shetek. Mr. Neil Currie furnished us a good hall free of charge, and the good people furnished coal and light. We boarded at the Padgitt hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Padgitt were very kind to us, and she, with Mrs. Swartwood and some others, embraced the truth, and a Sabbath school was organized, and Sabbath meetings established. We worked hard, walking many miles over the bleak prairies, visiting and holding meetings, and were rewarded by seeing some fruit of our labor.
