Sabbath Question Agitated in New Jersey
“Sabbatarian” writes to the Sabbath Recorder that the Sabbath question has lately been agitated in conservative New Jersey. It commenced as a lyceum question, and was at first wholly confined to the Bible. The first-day clergy feeling weak on this untheological ground, were dissatisfied with the first evening’s effort, and wished to have the question so modified as to embrace the “fathers” as well as the Bible. This was accordingly done, and the question was appointed to come up again in two weeks. Meanwhile Elds. A. H. Lewis and J. W. Morton (names with which all our readers are familiar) were sent for, who were present at the specified time to do good execution in behalf of the Sabbath. Eld. Lewis, by special invitation, lectured on the subject the next evening. The report says that a good impression was made on the community in favor of the truth.
