POISONED ARROWS.

By M. Hull

The No-law, Age-to-Come people had a general conference in Ind. last August, one object of which seemed to be to kill the law of God, and the influence of those who advocate it.

The name given us at that conference was "Northern Factionalists." Among other things, A. N. Seymour stated several times that M. E. Cornell embraced the Sabbath some nine years since, but upon more mature reflection discovered that he had been mistaken, and renounced the Sabbath. But his former brethren did not think him worthy of a support, and the "Factionalists" would not support him unless he would preach the Sabbath. So Bro. Cornell went to preaching what he did not believe, and has been at it ever since.

When the story was told to me I declared that it was not true. Other things coming from the same source I also denied.

I would here ask whether there is a shade of truth in the whole story? or will some men follow a theory which can only live by denouncing its adversaries?

M. HULL.

We have been personally acquainted with Bro. M. E. Cornell for more than six years, and do not hesitate to say that we believe the above charge against Bro. C. to be a willful, malicious falsehood.
