Report From. Bro. Sanborn.
By Isaac Sanborn
Since my last report of the discussion on the Sabbath question, Bro. Ingraham has discussed the following propositions: 1. Do the Scriptures teach that the kingdom of Jesus Christ was fully set up on the day of pentecost? Eld. Moss, Disciple, affirmed. The arguments I have not time to give, but so far as I have heard, the people generally think he made a failure. Then Eld. Mitchel, Disciple, affirmed, The Scriptures teach that the first day of the week is the Lord's day, and was set apart by divine authority as a day of religious worship. Here the people say he made a complete failure, which surely must have been the case, as there is not one text that says the first day of the week is the Lord's day, or that it was set apart by divine authority. I have heard a great many say that there is no evidence for Sunday-keeping. The Disciple preachers rallied all the strength they have in this part of the country, and have failed, so that their batteries are all silenced. They find it hard business to fight against God's law. We are now going on with our lectures, and shall have no more discussions while the tent remains here. The prospect here for quite a company of Sabbath-keepers is flattering. Pray for us that the Lord may give the increase.
