TEXAS TENT.

By R. M. Kilgore

Denison.—Since last report our interest has remained good, and is now more settled. Several are keeping the Sabbath. We are working for more. At our last Sabbath-school eighty-two were present, and their names enrolled.

The Methodist minister, a week ago, took up the Sunday question in his pulpit. He took the ground that the Sabbath was kept from creation till the resurrection of Christ, but it was then changed. I reviewed him on Monday night. Last night Rev. Kone, Baptist, who formerly wrote over the signature, "Zim Zam," from the same pulpit read a manuscript of a future tract on the same subject. He denied that the Sabbath was a memorial of creation, but stated that it existed first at, and was a memorial of, the giving of manna; that when Christ, the true bread, came down from Heaven, the type was met; and the antitype, the Christian Sabbath, took the place of the one given to the Jews. I review him to-night. Thus the battle goes. I see no end yet. We are invited out every day. The people are kind, supplying our wants, providing oil for our lamps, etc.
