We make the following extract from a letter from Bro. G. W. Bear, of Republic, Ohio.
"Bro. SMITH: The great and glorious truth that has been proclaimed in this place, is fast gaining a permanent foot-hold in the hearts and minds of the people. It is gaining many friends who are beginning to feel zealous in the Cause. They now love to read God's sacred word. Many have laid aside infidelity, and have taken a stand on the side of the truth of the gospel. They no longer believe God a tyrant, but a God of mercy and goodness. They see the foundation of sand on which they stood, fast crumbling away; and are now willing to accept of immortality through Christ, and wait until the resurrection for its reception.
There are a few who oppose this cause, who fight savagely, but effect nothing thereby; for they fight, as it were, with pewter swords and paper shields. While we have the Bible to shield us, we want ro more.
In order to show how harmless and inoffensive their weapons of warfare are, I will give a brief description of a lecture given last Sunday, by the Presbyterian minister in this place, from Ps. xi, 3, in which he tried to show that the Advent Cause had but little or no foundation. He endeavored to prove his position by a quotation from Uncle Tom's Cabin, and show from it that the strange doctrine would not stand the test. A few assertions of his own were made, which I think claim a place in the 'Liars' Department.' Some of them I will notice: 'The stranger did not preach faith and repentance, that which would show the inquirer what to do to be saved, or feed the hungry mourner in Zion with the bread of life;' 'using profane wit in order to convert the people, to a dangerous and erroneous doctrine, tending to demoralize community and make Sabbath-breakers.'"
[It is fast becoming evident that all that people find to oppose the truth with, is a volley of misrepresentations manufactured for the occasion.—Ed.]
Conference Building Delayed
Bro. Geo. Wright writes from Lapeer, Mich., Oct. 17th: "Owing to quite a number of mechanics disappointing us in not working out their subscriptions we shall not be able to get our house ready for conference before the 12th of Nov. When Bro. Bates returns from Thetford, definite notice of the time will be given. We should be glad to have Bro. and Sr. White present, but presume their appointments will not permit their return in season. Shall confidently expect Bro. Waggoner.
"A few wayside hearers are dropping off from us; but the real brethren and sisters are growing stronger in the faith. The Lord is with us."
