Action of the Church in Fairfield, Iowa.
The following action was taken at a meeting of the church at Fairfield, Iowa, Feb. 18, 1866: Whereas, Elders Snook and Brinkerhoff have rebelled from the cause of S. D. Adventists, and given up most all the fundamental doctrines of the same, and Whereas, They design to visit all the churches in Iowa, and Whereas, We believe that the course these men are taking will surely "result in anarchy and universal disorder," therefore Resolved, That we do not wish Elders Snook and Brinkerhoff to come here with their scattering and distracting influences. Resolved, That if they do come, we will not go to hear their confusion. J. A. Smith, Church Clerk. Signed by all the members of the church present when the action was taken.
