Action of the Church in Sandyville, Iowa.
BRO. WHITE: The Church of Seventh-day Adventists of Sandyville, Iowa, met on the 4th of March to take action in regard to those who are in rebellion, who calculate to visit Sandyville soon. The following resolutions were offered, the names of the brethren and sisters were called, and all voted in the affirmative. To the Brethren scattered abroad, and to all concerned:—When Elders Snook and Brinkerhoff first rebelled, there were some of us who sympathized with them, but, after learning that they had given up the third angel's message, and declared that six of the seven last plagues were in the past, we wish to express our minds in the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, We, at Sandyville have had many unpleasant things among us on account of the inroads of the Devil, and in consequence have become weak; and Whereas, B. F. Snook and Wm. H. Brinkerhoff have turned their backs to the third angel's message, and are trying to pull down that which they once professed to build up, therefore Resolved, That we will not countenance those who are in rebellion against the third angel's message. Resolved, That we will not admit them into our house of worship, neither will we go to hear them. NOAH HODGES,
