Forbidden to Teach God's Law.
By Wm. Cottrell
Some time since, I informed the readers of the Review of the change that had been effected with myself on the Sabbath and God's law through the influence of your publications. About ten years ago I became a member of the Disciple or Christian church, so-called, at this place; and in about one year afterward, was chosen by the church as one of its elders. At different times since then I have been the only elder in the church, in which capacity I endeavored to teach and instruct them to the best of my ability. All moved on harmoniously and agreeably until since I have taken a stand in favor of God's holy Sabbath. Now things have assumed a different aspect. I have, since my change, delivered two discourses on the perpetuity of God's law. I am now forbidden by the other elders (there being two besides myself), the teaching of the law of God and the Lord's holy Sabbath, a majority, perhaps, of the membership justifying them in their opposition to the truth of God. Myself and wife are the only Sabbath-keepers in all this country, that I am aware of. So as I am deprived of preaching in our own meeting-house, I take the privilege of going to their houses, in order to teach them the way of the Lord more perfectly. We should be pleased to have some missionary call on us. We would try to procure for him a hearing. I am confident that there are others here who will eventually receive the truth and live it out.
