Sabbath Keepers in Iroquois County
By C. H. Bliss
BRO. C. H. BLISS writes from Iroquois Co., Ill.: There are some fifteen Sabbath-keepers here scattered throughout the country within ten and twelve miles of this place. This is the same neighborhood where Bro. Merritt and I held some meetings last summer. We have meeting here every Sabbath, and also upon first-day evening. Considerable prejudice exists against the truth. The people are slow to hear, and slow to move, even when convinced. Some, in order to get rid of the claims of the law, have fallen in with the idea that the law and Sabbath commenced and ceased with the Jewish people. May the Lord save the honest in heart from this terrible delusion. Ten of us here have covenanted together to keep the “commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” We want to get rid of all our sins, that when Jesus comes our robes may be white and clean. Pray for us, that we may be enabled to so live, that others by beholding our godly walk and chaste conversation, may be led to embrace the truth which we love.
