A Visit from Eld. H. P. Burdick
By W. C. G.
Sabbath, Oct. 15, the church in Battle Creek had the pleasure of a visit from Eld. H. P. Burdick, Seventh-day Baptist, and of listening to a stirring discourse from him on the duties of Sabbath-keepers in view of the impending conflict on the subject of the Sabbath. He alluded to the instrumentalities in possession of the advocates of God's law, the educational advantages of the Seventh-day Baptists, and the publishing facilities of the Seventh-day Adventists, and paid a feeling tribute to the zeal and earnestness which had put in successful operation the Publishing Association, which is a means of great good in disseminating light on the subject of the Sabbath. The speaker expressed the belief that God would make use of the zealous, honest, and earnest ones, in both denominations, in meeting the enemies of his law, and that the trembling, half-hearted and worldly, whether Seventh-day Baptist, or Seventh-day Adventist, would be rejected of him, as of no use in the great conflict before us. The discourse abounded in practical thought and instruction, and added much to the interest of our Sabbath worship. W. C. G.
