HAVING THEIR CONSCIENCE SEARED.
By J. S. Shrock
AFTER having investigated the subject of the Sabbath, Eld. Lane inquired whether any had decided to observe the seventh-day, the Sabbath of the Lord. Among those who had resolved to do so was a young woman who was very highly thought of in the Baptist church, of which she had been a devoted member. After our meeting a Baptist brother called on her with the intention of persuading her not to leave off Sunday-keeping; but finding her very firm, he said, “Well, should you wish to keep Saturday you need not leave the Baptist church.” The lady replied, “Do you not think that these men are right?” “Yes,” said he, “I must confess that we have Bible evidence only for the seventh-day Sabbath; but I have kept Sunday so long that my conscience would not permit me to make the change.” Did not Paul have reference to such when he said, “Having their conscience seared with a hot iron”?
