“Obedient to the Faith.”

The following was clipped from the Observer, of Chicago:—

“Rev. Lyman J. Fisher, a retired Baptist minister, has resigned from the board of education of Middletown, O., giving as his reason that after a lifelong study of the Scriptures he had come to the conclusion that Saturday was the Sabbath day. As most of the examinations fall on Saturday, it hurt his conscience to err longer. The resignation was accepted.”

There will be many more such instances, as the Spirit of God descends upon his children in “the latter rain.” Sabbath reform—reform on the seventh day, or Bible Sabbath—is in God’s order. Man can not stay it; fines, imprisonment, chain-gangs will but help it on. And every soul who loves God and who is alive at his coming, will be found on that side. It is not a matter of any denomination, but of faith in God’s word, and, as of old in Pentecostal seasons, we expect to see a great company of priests or preachers “obedient to the faith.” Come on, brethren; it is God’s voice that is calling.
