The Seventh-day Baptists.
By W. C. O.
WE are glad to notice on the part of our brethren of this denomination a reciprocal action in the matter of cultivating fraternal feelings between themselves and Seventh-day Adventists, these two denominations being the only Christian people on this broad continent who are honoring God by defending his law and Sabbath. The Sabbath Recorder in noticing the action of our recent Conference, touching this point, makes some feeling remarks, and takes occasion to copy from our reports some statistics concerning our growth and progress as a people. Alluding to the liberality and benevolence manifested among us, it says, “By such vigor and liberality, the views of the Seventh-day Adventists are being widely and rapidly spread abroad.” We are glad in this connection to chronicle what seems to us an increasing zeal and spirit of labor in behalf of the down-trodden law of God on the part of our Seventh-day Baptist brethren, as manifested especially in their publication department. We hope that the spirit of labor in our common cause may strengthen the bond of unity between us, and tend to a unity of sentiment and action. Most heartily do we join in the wish of the Recorder, “that the Lord of the Sabbath will so guide them and us as to free both from all error, and unite us in the work of honoring God and defending his law and his Sabbath.”
