Mr. and Mrs. Dennis rejoice in the blessed light that has come to them, and have taken a noble stand to obey the Lord. A brother of Mr. Dennis, and his wife, regularly attend our services, but have not yet yielded their hearts to walk in the way of God's commandments, although they have signified publicly that the law of the Lord ought to be kept. May the time soon come when their faith and practice will agree.

How sad it will be for those who acknowledge the righteousness of God's law, and yet refuse to obey it!

Mr. Kirkpatrick lets us have a nice rig to go out in the country with, and otherwise is very kind to us, often speaking approvingly of the preaching; but does not appear to be ready to forsake all, and follow Christ.

Elder Johnson, Methodist minister, and Elder Elliott, Presbyterian minister, have not been with us much; but Brother Johnson has attended our meetings more than Brother Elliott. they are very pleasant, genial gentlemen. They think we are wrong on the Sabbath question, but do not attempt to show us the better way.

We have time and again publicly stated that if any person would have the kindness to show us one divine precept requiring Sunday sacredness, we would sacredly observe it; or. if they would point us to one Bible text that calls Sunday the Sabbath, or Lord's day, and observe it as such; or, if any person will find in the Oracles of God one example of its sacred observance by Christ or the apostles; or point us to one divine, God-given reason for its sacred observance, we will be very grateful to them, and promise faithfully to observe it the rest of our days. Neither Brother Johnson nor Brother Elliott has brought us this one text. Why is this? Only one truthful answer can be given, there is no such divine authority for Sunday sacredness to be found.

I visited with Brother Elliott the other day, and he informed me that he and Brother Johnson had concluded that they had better not attend our meetings any more. If Brother Johnson so concluded, he has not adhered to it altogether; for he has been twice since, and heard on "Who Changed the Sabbath?" in which it was demonstrated that the Catholic church is the guilty party. We know that what he heard that night will be a savor of life or of death unto him.
