Nebraska Church Reports Sabbath Discussion in Syracuse

By H. Shultz; M. Hackworth

Nebraska.

Syracuse, July 9.

The Lord has been very kind to us, and his mercy has been with us, and his protecting arms around us. Blessed be his name forever.

We have about finished the discussion of the Sabbath question. The people are very much stirred about it. Some have commenced to obey the commandments of God, and there are many who have not yet decided. One brother, a merchant in a large furniture store, closed his store last Sabbath, and hung a sign on the door printed in large letters: “This store will be open every day in the week except Saturday.” The act of this brother is causing a great stir among the people. It is leading many to study the Bible.

A Baptist minister spoke on the Sabbath question Sunday evening. We had liberty in reviewing him last evening before a large congregation. He is to try again one week from to-night. Brethren, pray for us that the truth may prevail over error.
