The Missionary.

By Editor

Religious Persecution.

IN giving the following from one of our subscribers we withhold the name and place, as it might possibly be the means of further injury to the persecuted individual, or hedge up the way of his future labors to publish them:—

“I could write much about the persecution here in S—, which is being carried on by the Catholic Church against one who has left them and united with those who keep the seventh day. He has been knocked down with stones and fired at with pistols. Last night he was assaulted by three men.

“Since he left that church he has been ordained and been preaching in the different churches, and is now a firm believer in the seventh-day Sabbath. His preaching in the different churches was always crowned with success. His name is —. Please remember the name; he intends to be at the — camp-meeting next summer, if the Lord permits. The half in regard to his persecution is not told.”

We shall forward this letter to the President of the Conference from which it comes.
