Sac City.—Brethren G. V. Kilgore and Hart report: “Meetings closed here Sunday night, September 30. About twenty have commenced to keep the Sabbath. No public opposition was raised till just as we left; then a first-day Adventist spoke twice on the covenants. He said there was nothing against hatred, or malice, or drunkenness, in the old covenant; that love was not commanded there; and that there was no Christ in it. His ‘old covenant’ was the law of Moses, ten commandments included. And his statements were easily shown to be flat contradictions of the Bible,—of Luke 10:25–28; Deut 6:5; Lev. 19:16–18; Deut. 29:19, 20. He did not want to talk any longer on the subject, he said, for it would be controversy! Good was done even by him. May God be praised for his plain truth.”
