Ministers Studying Present Truth

FROM the Pacific Union Recorder we take the following account of the experience of Brother Chas. N. Miller at Bakersfield, Cal.: “Never before have I had the experience with the ministers of other churches that I have had here. One Sabbath I had four out, not coming for controversy, but for light. I had not invited any except a Baptist minister who visited me for light on the sleep of the dead and destruction of the wicked. Since then he has been an earnest student of truth. On my last visit, he said he was convinced of the law, including the Sabbath, and he is now studying prophecy. He is a very earnest man, a minister of thirty years’ standing in the Baptist Church, but he can not conscientiously preach for them any more. The other one who is especially interested is of the Holiness Church. Elder Dart would remember him as the man who tried to refute the law one night in San Luis Obispo, when Brother Dart was holding meetings there. But he is now of a very different frame of mind. He says the Sabbath question is troubling him greatly, and he called for our best works on that question. A few days ago I was invited to visit a Presbyterian minister

in counsel. He is also troubled over the light the Lord has revealed to him, and says he can no longer preach where he can not have the liberty to teach what he sees to be truth. With such an unusual experience which I have not invited for myself, I can but hope that some may see the whole truth.”
