The Power of Truth.

CANDID, thinking, Christian men are not unfrequently brought into the light of the Sabbath truth through their own investigations by simply having their attention called to the subject. The following is a case in point: A Freewill Baptist minister in Wisconsin received a letter from a sister in the church of which he was pastor in Canada, stating her convictions of, and conversion to, this truth. On receiving it, his surprise was only equaled by his zeal to correct her error. He took his Bible, and sat down to answer her letter. But the Bible failing to sustain the Sunday Sabbath, he postponed writing till he should obtain Justin Edwards’ Sabbath Manual. The result was, that when he wrote, he believed that the seventh day of the week “is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God,” which truth he ardently loved and strictly obeyed until his death, which recently occurred in Gratiot Co., Mich.
