Newspapers Do Frequently Get Things Wrong
Newspapers do frequently get things wrong. For instance the Marengo (Ill.) News of recent date has the following:— In Fiji the whole people of Cikobia, and about half of the large town of Mua Levu, have gone over from Wesleyanism to the Seventh-day Adventists who have started a mission in Fiji. The inducement for this conversion en masse was to get two days of rest in the week. Now the simple truth is, there has been no such “conversion en masse.” All who have accepted the Sabbath of the Lord have been convicted of duty and converted one by one. In other words, it has been an individual matter, as all true religious experience and life must be. Those who accept of God’s great three-fold message of reform (Rev. 14: 6-14) do not do it for rest, but for service. No lazy inducement is in the Gospel message or the Sabbath truth.
