Pomona and Lamanda Park.
By E. A. Briggs.
Our meetings at Pomona closed on the 5th inst. They resulted in sixteen persons signing the covenant, the organization of a Sabbath-school, and six baptisms. The successful termination of the effort at Pomona was largely owing to the unbiblical positions taken by a Disciple minister who took the part of champion for Sunday, and opposed the Sabbath of the Lord in a discussion with me before five hundred listeners. He admitted that the Lord was so particular about his Sabbath that he had a man stoned to death for breaking it (Num. 15:32–36); but claimed that he did so because it was a frosty morning. This minister also claimed that Christ kept the law of Moses and offered sacrifices; but he could not find the scripture which so declared. We are now holding meetings at Lamanda Park with a good attendance. Already some are acknowledging that they ought to keep the Sabbath according to the commandment. May the Lord help them not only to know their duty, but also to do the same. My post-office, until October 19, will be Woodland, Yolo County, Cal. E. A. BRIGGS.
