NEW HARTFORD, MINN.

By N. Battin

HAVE given thirty discourses here to pretty fair audiences. The country is stirred for miles around, but the people are slow in deciding. A few honest souls have obeyed, and others are favorable.
At the close of the course of lectures, some of the people engaged one Eld. Dikeman to meet me in a discussion. We discussed the Sabbath question two evenings. His position was very easily met, as he admitted that the law is binding, and maintained the change of the Sabbath. At the close of the discussion, he told the people that if any wanted to keep the seventh day, he had nothing to say against it. Evidently the Elder was very little acquainted with the real position of Sabbatarians when he began the discussion. He was an honorable opponent, far exceeding in fairness what we usually meet. N.
