The Sabbath in Bangor

By Horace W. Lawrence

From Bro. Lawrance.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I am much interested in the paper and wish it continued. Affliction and death in my small family has prevented me from expressing my feelings before. A few of us in Bangor (Franklin Co.) have embraced the Sabbath. Also, a few in St. Lawrence Co. I purpose to give information, if I find any receiving the "Review and Herald" who are not interested in it.

In my short observation, where the Sabbath has obtained, I find elements of opposition stirred similar to what the truth produced in 1843 and 1844. I have believed for some time that there was truth in the Word that would single out God's people, and make manifest the right.

I cannot say that I think all the light now shines. I am not satisfied with regard to all points of doctrine as I am with regard to the Sabbath. But I feel like exhorting brethren to beware how they decide against any idea of truth that brings them into friendship with the world.

HORACE W. LAWRENCE. Norfolk, N. Y., March, 1st, 1855.
