The Power of the Truth.
By Uriah Smith
WE take the liberty to mention the following case as illustrative of the power of truth, when investigated by honest and candid minds. The case is that of our aged and esteemed brother, Joseph Young, of this city, who, with his companion united with our church last Sabbath. Bro. Y. has long resided in our midst; but no especial influence has been brought to bear upon him, in relation to our views, except a voluntary investigation of them, prompted by a desire on his part to know the truth. And when, in connection with this, we take into consideration the fact that Bro. Young is now over 82 years of age, has been for 54 years a deacon of the Presbyterian church, and was up to the time of his uniting with us, in active service as a deacon of the Presbyterian church in this city, we consider it as remarkable and cheering an illustration of the clearness of the truth, and its power to convince the judgment when candidly investigated, as could well be furnished. In all such evidences we can but rejoice.
