A Great Victory for the Truth.

We learn that the discussion lately held at Vacaville, Cal., has resulted gloriously for the truth. The opponent of Bro. Healey, one Johnson, a Disciple, came on boasting of his own strength and sneering at the inferiority of his antagonist, like the celebrated Mr. Goliath, of Scripture fame. But unfortunately for Mr. Johnson, the parallel did not stop there, but continued right on to the end of the chapter. His brethren stopped him when he had filled only two-thirds of his time on the Sabbath question, the contest was proving of such damage to their cause.
It matters not how talented a man may be, he cannot make something out of nothing; and the Bible furnishes absolutely nothing in behalf of Sunday-keeping.
When the Philistine of old was overthrown, all Israel gave a shout. So when the truth, in its simplicity, gains such victories, let all the people, both as a grateful exclamation and a prayer, say, Amen; so let it be.
