INTERESTING LETTER FROM KANSAS.
Dear Brethren:—Having been a reader of your paper for the last four months, and being much edified by its perusal, I feel confident that your work is of God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. By that gift of the Spirit whereby we are enabled to discern spirits, I am fully persuaded that the "Signs of the Times" is the most spiritual of any publication now being issued to which I have had access. With all the doctrine taught in your paper I have been in sympathy for some years, except your teaching in regard to the Law of God, having heretofore looked upon it as the Law of Moses, and was in the habit of calling the Seventh Day the "Jewish Sabbath" instead of the Sabbath of the Lord. But having some nine years ago adopted the principle: "Where the Scriptures speak we speak, and where the Scriptures are silent we are silent," I have ceased talking about the "Jewish Sabbath," and now regard the day as unto the Lord. When I adopted the principle above referred to I found that I must leave the Presbyterian Church of which I was then a member. Having at that time cast my lot with the people calling themselves Disciples, I have been exceedingly zealous in my preaching for what is popularly called Christian union. But having lost confidence in the spirituality, not only of the other sects, but of the Disciples also, and my faith in God's word growing stronger and stronger, I greatly desire the fellowship of a more spiritually minded brotherhood. Although Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the Law, I am nevertheless fully impressed with its claims upon all, both Jew and Gentile, and desire to serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. I feel somewhat drawn toward S. D. Adventists, and hope to be able to cooperate with you in the work of saving souls.
